Contrary to popular belief, small vortices can spin in either direction; the Coriolis force only affects large systems like hurricanes, tornadoes, etc. Still, a well organized, self-sustaining whirlpool somewhere other than the sink or toilet is an interesting thing to study (and throw objects into.) I found this one in Port Norris, New Jersey. It's not entirely natural, the result of pipes used to divert water under a nearby road, but in my opinion it still made for a cool picture.

The name of the picture reminds me about a heavymetal-band called Swallow the Sun. Great music btw. And great picture you have there.

Beautiful. Love the twisting and movement. And the lighting is fantastic, too, with that nice shine receding into the whirlpool depths.

This has a very cool heavier-than-liquid effect going on...I don't quite know how to explain it. It looks almost like someone took a 3D computer map of the eye of a hurricane and colored and textured it.

In any case, I really like it, the lighting is superb and I like the dull colors. I wonder how a long exposure at this angle would have looked...

i'm sure it would have looked pretty cool. I just need to get myself a neutral density filter. :)
