So, my weekend in Mobile, Alabama was a busy busy one. I was attending the 42nd Binghamton Geomorphology conference and giving a paper on 'Microbial geomorphology'. At the start of the conference we went on a great one-day field trip to the coastal area around Mobile, including a stop at Weeks Bay where I took the photos above and below. The water REALLY was that strange colour - the general consensus was that it is caused by humic acids or tannins coming off the surrounding bog. I suggested it was Coca Cola.
The Coca Cola infested waters of Mobile Bay.
We also went to Dauphin Island which had been badly affected by Hurricanes Ivan and Katrina, but is now being rather more insidiously affected by human developments. Whoever allowed THIS hotel or apartment block to be built?
Beautiful Dauphin Island
