IC 443 (also known as the faint and elusive Jellyfish Nebula Jellyfish Nebula and Sharpless 248 (Sh2-248)) is a Galactic supernova remnant (SNR) in the constellation Gemini. Flanked by two bright stars, Mu and Eta Geminorum. Its distance is roughly 5,000 light years from Earth. At that distance, this image would be about 300 light-years across.

A different perspective and my absolute favourite from my visit at Praia do Castelejo in the Algarve.
At this sight (especially of the shape of the rock) I feel transported to another time or even another world immediately. A world where giant sea monsters are crawling on land while the sun is drowning in the ocean. I have no idea, what they are doing there over night , I'm not a natural scientist.
Just open Youself to the photo one moment. Maybe it is coming to life, like it does for me. This would make me really happy.
Eine andere Perspektive und gleichzeitig mein absoluter Favorit von meinem Besuch am Praia do Castelejo in der Algarve.
Bei diesem Anblick (vor allem bei der Form des Felsens) fühle ich mich sofort in eine andere Zeit, vielleicht sogar in eine andere Welt versetzt. Eine Welt, in der sich riesige Seeungeheuer an Land schieben, während die Sonne im Ozean versinkt. Was die dort über Nacht machen, weiß ich nicht, ich bin ja kein Naturwissenschaftler.
Lasst das Bild mal einen Moment auf Euch wirken, vielleicht wird es ja auch zum Leben erweckt, wie bei mir. Das würde mich ganz besonders freuen.

Im Norden Norwegens, nahe der Stadt Vardø am Barentsmeer, erhebt sich ein beeindruckendes Kunstwerk: der Drakkar Leviathan. Diese Installation verbindet die Form eines Drachenboots, der berühmten Wikingerschiffe, mit dem Leviathan, einem mythologischen Seeungeheuer. Sie symbolisiert die tiefe Verbindung der nordischen Kultur zum Meer und den Naturgewalten.
Sie wurde im Sommer 2016 vom Team Taibola Assemble aus Archangelsk/Severodvinsk errichtet und besteht aus massiven Holzbalken.
In northern Norway, near the town of Vardø on the Barents Sea, rises an impressive work of art: the Drakkar Leviathan. This installation combines the shape of a dragon boat, the famous Viking ships, with the Leviathan, a mythological sea monster. It symbolizes the deep connection of Nordic culture to the sea and the forces of nature.
It was erected in the summer of 2016 by the Taibola Assemble team from Arkhangelsk/Severodvinsk and is made of massive wooden beams.
Leviathan of Parsonstown, or Rosse six-foot telescope, is a historic reflecting telescope of 72 in (1.83 m) aperture, which was the largest telescope in the world from 1845 until the construction of the 100-inch (2.5 m) Hooker Telescope in California in 1917. The Rosse six-foot telescope was built by William Parsons, 3rd Earl of Rosse on his estate, Birr Castle, at Parsonstown
A dragon poem about mental health and the power of love. ❤
"In the silent chambers of my mind,
where shadows whisper, and fears unwind,
I tread the path of endless night,
seeking solace, a glimmer of light.
Amidst the chaos, a fragile heart,
beats with hope, though torn apart.
Whispers of doubt, a constant friend,
yet through this darkness, I ascend.
In the depths, where sorrow lies,
I hear the echoes of my cries.
Yet within these walls, a seed does grow,
a testament to all I've known.
Through trials faced and battles fought,
a lesson learned, a wisdom sought.
Each tear shed, a story told,
of strength unseen, of courage bold.
And as I rise from shadows deep,
a promise made, a vow to keep.
To cherish love, both given and received,
in its embrace, I am relieved.
For in the heart where love does reign,
it heals the wounds, it soothes the pain.
A beacon bright, a guiding star,
reminding me of who we are.
Together, we can face the night,
with love as armor, shining bright.
For in the end, through love's pure light,
we find our strength, our wings for flight.
So let us weave this tale anew,
of mental battles, we've fought through.
Triumphant hearts, with love's embrace,
together, in Evermore we find our sacred place."
-The Dragonz Mind-

Sometimes it takes luck to match a good picture with a poem and thanks for the Cica Ghost's art I did it. Such a beautiful place.

A huge severe-warned cell shows off some explosive convection as it drifts along the Front Range west of Loveland, CO.
Image Notes: To get an idea of how large the storm is, consider that this image is a five-frame pano. Each frame was shot vertically with the Samyang 14 mm, itself an incredibly wide lens. I processed each frame in DXO, corrected distortion/vignetting with PTLens (DXO lacks a profile for the Samy) and merged the frames in Photoshop to construct the pano.

Ho immaginato questa bellissima nuvola come un mostro gigantesco, mentre sembrava volerne divorare una di più piccola.

This, my dear visitors, is already one of my favorite photos from this fall.
Now you might object that this is just an old gnarled (and possibly even dead) tree.
But not for me. For me, this giant is a symbol and a connection to all the books I have read and films I have ever seen that are about magic and mystical powers.
I see a giant octopus (which exists in some stories), a sea monster, one of Tolkien's Ents, the entrance to an enchanted forest and, last but not least, the whomping willow on the school grounds of a famous wizarding university.
Some of these images were already triggered in my head when I just drove past here.
The wonderfully thick fog certainly played its part here.
Anyway, I love this photo and I love getting lost in it. Definitely better than in the forest. Which I definitely have to go back to and which, by the way, is located in Bohemia just before the Zinnwald border crossing.
Oh well: In case anyone is wondering what a Leviathan is. IT is a cosmic sea monster from Jewish mythology. I saw a film with this title many years ago and it really impressed me at the time.
Dies, meine lieben Besucher und Besucherinnen ist jetzt schon eines meiner Lieblingsphotos aus diesem Herbst.
Jetzt werded Ihr vielleicht einwenden, dass dies doch nur ein alter knorriger (und möglicherweise sogar toter) Baum ist.
Doch nicht für mich. Für mich ist dieser Gigant ein Symbol Symbol und eine Verbindung zu allen Büchern, die ich gelesen und Filmen die ich je gesehen habe in denen es um Magie und mystische Kräfte geht.
Ich sehe einen riessigen Kraken (den es in einigen Erzählungen gibt), ein Seeungeheuer, einen von Tolkiens Ents, den Eingang in einen verzauberten Wald und nicht zuletzt die peitschende Weide auf dem Schulgelände einer berühmten Universität für Zauberer.
Einige dieser Bilder wurden in meinem Kopf bereits ausgelöst, als ich hier nur vorbei gefahren bin.
Wobei hier der wundervoll dichte Nebel mit Sicherheit auch seinen Teil dazu beigetragen hat.
Wie dem auch sei, Ich liebe dieses Foto und ich liebe es mich in ihm zu verlaufen. Auf alle Fälle besser, als in dem Wald. Zu dem ich unbedingt nochmal zurück kehren muss und welcher sich übrigens im Böhmen kurz vor dem Grenzübergang Zinnwald befindet.
Achso: Falls sich jemand fragt, was ein Leviathan ist. ES ist ein kosmisches Seeungeheuer aus der jüdischen Mythologie. Ich hab for vielen Jahren einmal einen Film mit diesem Titel gesehen, der mich damals schwer beeindruckt hat.

Leviathan is a cosmic sea monster from Jewish mythology. His description includes features of a crocodile, a dragon, a snake or a whale.
I always think of such a gigantic monster when I look at this photo I took in the Italian Alps in spring. I know I'm looking towards the Dolomites, but I can't say what that mountain range is called (as always, I'd be grateful if someone can fill this gap in my knowledge).
With its head hidden somewhere to the right behind the hills, all you can see is its carapace rising up towards the sky. So high that it is already covered in snow. And as I'm absorbed in the photo, I imagine what it would be like if this giant suddenly woke up and began to rise before my eyes.
Luckily, I can easily get stories like this out of my head when I move on to something else. Otherwise I would probably never be able to sleep peacefully again.
Leviathan ist ein kosmisches Seeungeheuer aus der jüdischen Mythologie. Seine Beschreibung enthält Züge eines Krokodils, eines Drachens, einer Schlange oder eines Wals.
An solch ein gigantisches Ungeheuer muss ich immer denken, wenn mir dieses Foto ansehe, was ich im Frühjahr in den italienischen Alpen aufgenommen habe. Ich weiß, dass ich in Richtung der Dolomiten blicke, doch wie diese Bergkette heißt, kann ich nicht sagen (wie immer bin ich dafür dankbar, wenn mir jemand diese Wissenslücke schließen kann).
Den Kopf irgendwo rechts hinter den Hügeln versteckt sieht man nur seinen Rückenpanzer zum Himmel aufragen. So hoch, dass er schon von Schnee bedeckt ist. Und während ich in das Foto vertieft bin stelle ich mir vor wie es wäre, wenn dieser Gigant plötzlich erwacht und beginnt sich vor meinen Augen zu erheben.
Zum Glück bekomme ich solche Geschichten leicht wieder aus meinem Kopf, wenn ich mich etwas anderem zuwende. Sonst würde ich wohl nie wieder ruhig schlafen können.

I thought I would post the colour version of my image that was commended in the 2014 Landscape photographer of the year competition. Still prefer the mono version but like this one too.
My original image, 'The March of the Leviathans' (which was commended in the 'Urban View' category) can be seen here: www.flickr.com/photos/hartwellphotography/12987394443/in/....
