Any picture loading system (inc flicker, photoshare, google, yahoo...amoung many) will do, just hotlink it by copying the link...
There are Rhodophyta (red algae) species that do thrive in/on buildings in humid areas, but usually start appearing in streaks & blotches... they can turn dusty during dry spells like we had the week prior to the Keaau parade... and can have a dark - black/brown appearance... but not normally real uniform unless a fairly flat slope...
The red cider dust may also appear if a downwind lot is having a lot of cinder work.... you may not be real line-of sight to that work, but the wind could carry, esp if this happened only recently while we were experiencing Kona winds (reverse of normal) - that work could be much farther upslope & the dust settled on your roof...
Course if you have any of the dust...looking at it under a scope could help ID it... but what fun is the speculation then!
