Skin
This looks, to me, like a close-up of human skin. It's not. It's a photo of sand dunes on the surface of Mars, taken by the Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter. So you could say it's skin, just the skin of a planet instead of a person. Regardless, it's gorgeous.

The dark stuff looks a lot like patches of weeds or something. Wild.
Looks like closed eyes with luxuriant eyelashes to me.
I think it looks like some sort of fungus.
I enjoy the pics you put on here. Very cool, and they get you thinking.
That reminds me.. I need to clean out the fridge.
So, they look like skin, weeds, eyes, fungus, and refrigerator gunk. Interesting how the same shapes and patterns keep occurring in nature, in all sorts of different contexts.
Its an amazing picture. It looks like nuno silk to me. Thank you for your visit. you have a very interesting blog here. I will be back to have another look around soon.
