Gardens-in-a-Petri

Billions and billions of bacterial landscape architects pruning — no less in environments poisoned with antibiotics — other bacterial landscape architects, dead or alive, to form dazzling arabesque parterres. The self-organizing embroidery of organisms in constant Darwinian mode.

This is stunning to say the least! Incredible where we can find beauty, life is full of it, just open your eyes and accept it.

Very nice. This is something that has always fascinated me, how beautiful and complex structures can be formed from a basic environment with simple rules.
In computer science, the same thing can happen, beautiful images can be created from very simple fractal equations. Also see the 'game of life', were a grid is defined and a few simple rules are set, complex behaviour can appear. Proof to me that complex systems do not require design.

Beautiful. I never imagined doing anything but cringing when seeing things in a petri dish. Thanks for sharing your intricate designs.

Landscape Architects don't prune, they designps. Landscapers prune.

i KNEW it was familiar !
Quoting the blog you linked:
"All images come from the laboratory of Prof. Eshel Ben-Jacob of the Tel-Aviv University,"

Eshel Ben Yaakov was my statistical mechanics proffesor, while I studied my BSC in physics 4 years ago.
I saw these pictures every day on his office door, and had the pleasure of seeing these bacterial petri dishes myself..

Small world.
