This article wasn't wordy at all, but it was absolutely amazing. Using some of the world's smallest organisms, called diatoms, "hobbyists" used a kaleidoscope like microscope and made beautiful artwork. I was definitely impressed by the endless designs that can be formed, and that even the most early organisms were aesthetically appealing. It just shows literal natural beauty. I also did some more research and found out that diatoms appear almost everywhere that is lit. Their shape also relates greatly to math, because all their shapes are geometric. There isn't much to say about them, they are very simple organisms, and they look so good together because they consist of two valves that fit into each other. Great article, great pictures.
