Figure 1 – Soap dish and Faucet, IPhone photograph. (c) DE Wolf 2017.

I thought that I would do a quirky IPhone photograph today. Figure 1 is of a bar of soap in a soap dish with a faucet. Bars of soap can be very intriguing especially if they are at a sink that is seldom used. In that case the soap goes through a kind of wetting and drying cycle, which causes it to develop cracks and crevices. It becomes very reminiscent of satellite flybys of the mysterious moons of the outer planets, whose surfaces are ever intriguing. In that regard the innocuous bar of diminishing soap becomes essentially unworldly.
