Spill flowing

Spilling and dispersing


A wet parking lot reveals the petroleum product drips and leaks on the street beneath our feet.  As light is reflected and refracted by the layers of differing thicknesses, colorful "rainbows" are produced by the thin film interference.  The slight slope of the lot shows the flow and spread of the spilled product.
