    What a shot. I’m not sure whether I should pet it or roll in it. Could even pass as something under the microscope?! Got to love the mystery this challenge has given!

  6. Carsten says:

    Thanks for all your comments. I really appreciate them. And I’m glad to have a lot of new blogs to browse. Tomorrow you can see what it is…

  7. No idea what it is but it’s a very cool shot!

    It looks like maybe the fur of a shr-pei. I love the black and white – reallly emphasizes the testure without distracting color.

  9. Kelly says:

    Hmm…I was going to go with mold or fungus

  10. Pacey says:

    Ah..I can never guess, but whatever it is, it’s a great post for this week’s theme and great shot too. Welcome to SS Carsten.

    Very intriguing shot. I already saw your next post, so too late to do some guesswork for me. Great that you are joining the sundaystills challenge. Welcome!

  12. Sage says:

    Looks like mold to me! Perhaps Penicillin?
    Intriguing, thanks for letting us guess.

    WOW – This post caught a lot of comments. Thanks to all of you. And thanks for all the welcome greetings. -I’ll keep an eye on the SS-blog.
    As written elsewhere and guessed by several of you: This is mold. I helped cleaning where beer was left in a ‘drip – tray’? It was covered with this soft carpet of gray – blue mold. I had to to take a photo… And strange enough I saw the texture challenge when I opened the pc for transferring the image.
    I hope to participate in SS in the future. I’ll visit your blogs.
