Aerial photograph of a wheel-chair accessible pool. Starting with a floor-level ramp, the structure spirals inward and down and continous to the water-filled pool. The overall structure of the pool is round and is outlined by the spiralling ramp. Two half-moon windows illumunate the indoor pool. The color of the floor and walls are in a gray cement color. There is a off-white chair and an overhead shower on the right and a vase in the corner of the room.

Photograph of the outer surface of a coral skeleton, showing at very high magnification its complex three-dimensional microscopical structure. The image offers great detail and depth. We see many, evenly distributed small pores and apertures along the entire surface. Scattered on the surface are larger, depressed clusters of pores arranged like 12-armed stars. By looking in detail, we can see further, smaller porous structures inside these depressions. In the foreground, the surface forms six berry-shaped porous buds. There are no living polyps in the image, but only the outer skeleton structure. The surface has a stony appearance. The image is colorful, with gradations from teal, purple, pink, orange to yellow. Different hues are arranged like shadows, so that parts of the image that appear closer to the viewer have cooler colors, and warmer colors in parts of the image that are further away from the viewer. A predominance of yellow in the upper right suggests a source of light from that direction. In close-up this arrangement of colors appears also within individual pores. In this detailed and consistent manner across different scales, color strongly enhances the impression of three-dimensionality of the image.
