Each compound eye of a large dragonfly is composed of up to 30,000 ommatidia. Each ommatidium collects visual information through photoreceptors, and together the thousands of ommatidia help form a mosaic image in the dragonfly's brain.
These images of images--taken from hundreds of Icelandic Road and Coastal Administration webcams--form a mosaic record of light, time, and physical/psychic landscapes.
