Oil slick on black top

It snowed again today and will probably snow tomorrow, but I was able to get out anyway.  I didn't like my snow pics but I did  like my BW oil slick.  Bryan Peterson has a cool idea of mixing oil and water in a clear Pyrex cooking dish.  He rests the dish on top of two glasses and then he puts colorful paper or cloth under the dish. When he photographs it the picture comes out in a 70's swirl pattern.  Shoot it at f8, the who cares f-stop.
