    Red chock!

    And a very good example of how a headline can frame the understanding and interpretation of a picture.

    At first glance I was thinking “Blood” and “Red Paint”. But when I noticed the title new meanings occured.

    …and the red paint is strangely ambiguous in that it is both transparent (one can see the bottom of the lake, close as it is) as well as it resembles emulsion paint.

    The transparent thickness of the red colour makes me think of the thickness of blood

    (WARNING before you follow the link: You will see a dead animal. It was slaughtered in the morning by a mountain river and transformed into food for 20+ people. I am revolted by it and yet drawn to it).

    Wow. That blood really is thick! And yes, oil-like in the same way as the red canoe in the water.
