Sifto Salt Mine, Goderich, ON

I like the simple blocks of blue and their reflection in the water. It made me think the image might work well as a compressed png file, so I tried an experiment, first with eight colours, and then with four. You can see the results below:

Then I thought it might work well as a series of coloured blocks, a la Warhol.
