The Alien Throne in the center presides over his courtiers discussing important matters on our right but the mouth on our left is sticking out its tongue.
I'm sure that this flower is similar to the creature emerged from John Hurt's stomach in Alien.
Whilst the creature went on to reap havoc in the film this flower, Dahlia 'Cabana Banana' Tubers is apparently totally harmless.
This picture was taken at The Lost Gardens of Heligan.
I imagined myself floating weightless in the middle of a waveless sea. Moments, minutes, hours stretched lazily, between the future and the past, like strands of taffy twirled between the fingers of an alien god. The clouds were everywhere and nowhere, water was air and air was water-like. Then, in a blink of an eye, the alien forms rose up from what remained of my life. I laughed.
... and the alien fingers slowly crept out from the low brush, reaching and ever so gently touching her legs.

The bee balm reminds me of an alien being of some kind or an alien world before it fully blooms. Note the wee fluorescent neon green bug on it and the tiny raindrops. I put a flickr note where it is.

I want to thank each and everyone in advance who took the time to visit my little space here on Flickr.

Imagine...imagine you are an astronaut...in a shiny titanium rocket...who has just landed on another planet. The first visitor from another world. The first explorer of your kind. You walk through the dust of the red planet as you approach a small extraterrestrial village. And there they wait for you, the blue people - beautiful, savage and wild. And here you will introduce yourself and bring gifts. What will be your first words? What emotions will you experience? Will you survive the first five minutes of this encounter? What is the statistical life span of a star traveller? How now, Nathaniel York?
Fear. Curiosity. Apprehension. Exhilaration. The complex range of emotions experienced by both the anonymous onlooker and the aliens from another world. And in this moment of shared sensations and wonder, the realization that all life is connected through invisible threads of shared humanity. The same fears. The same hopes.
Loosely inspired by the short story 'Ylla' by Ray Bradbury, published in 'The Martian Chronicles' (1950). I first picked up this book when I was a teenager, back in the days when I kept live trilobites in my bathtub. This book never let me go. Such a fantastic read. Beautiful, entertaining, lyrical - and profound.
Alien romance, drama, premonition, tension, fear, jealousy, crime, symbolism and xenophobia - this story has it all. And at the end of each paragraph, as we get pulled deeper into the story, we feel reminded of Planet Earth, every step along the way. Bradbury is holding up a mirror to ourselves.
This story is deeply personal for me. I have been a life-long explorer. I also have been "the Martian". The two are interchangeable. I know both perspectives. And what I have learned: despite major differences in cultures and religion, if we can just find time to sit down, share a hot drink and talk a little, we find that we are actually not that different from each other after all. The same hopes, the same fears. All over the globe. And perhaps beyond.

Hey all, I'm taking a break from blogging. May be indefinite, may not be. I don't know.
I have to rediscover why I fell in love with sl photography in the first place.
Anyway, here's alien fuckery for you.
Also, happy new year
Photograph portraying the bivouac Carpano (2.865 m) by night.
Single shot, taken at moonlight, phase 50%. The refuge interior (blankets, cots) can be discerned thanks to the light of some candles.
In the Alps, especially in Italian territory, the term "bivouac" also refers to this kind of tiny structures, permanently unattended, for use by climbers to retreat and overnight.
This is located in a secluded area of the Gran Paradiso National Park (Italy).
These shelters always remind me the US mailboxes :-) (just bigger, of course!), or, with a little bit more of imagination, even small spaceships coming from alien worlds. That's why I always try to create an atmosphere like "hey, visitors have arrived among us"… also a sort of TARDIS time machine, as seen in the Doctor Who sci-fi series.

Sculpture 30 at Bondi's 'Sculptures By The Sea', 2025.

Sculpture 30, entitled 'Alien Arums', was created by the artists known as the 'Ghost Net Collective'.
The 'Alien Arums' are perched on the northern side of the headland at Marks Park - along the Bondi to Tamarama coastal walk.
Zoom in to see all of Bondi Beach in the late afternoon.
The artists say:
"Arum spikes emerge as alien invaders. Numerous species such as these 'Arums' are invading our coastline, establishing and thriving. 'Alien Arums' explores connections between embedded ghost-nets washed up on our shores, and the emergence of these reconstructed, growing, forms."
I am not sure what they are talking about, but interestingly, the sculpture is made from the ghost-nets that wash up on beaches. These ghost nets are attributed to the deaths of marine life all around the world.
SO, I think this sculpture is a statement about the dangers of ghost-nets, discarded by ships, in the ocean.

I found this Alien Welcome Center in Bowman, SC back in May of 2020. I’ve heard it has since been torn down and hauled off, due to ongoing vandalism. I can’t verify if this is true.
My little bean made a thing!
Monocle - Alien Stompers @ SaNaRae [07/26]

This mix of roots and small branches met along the way, in the shadows, around the Petit Mont-Cenis area (France) reminded me the Facehugger of the legendary film Alien by Ridley Scott... so, being myself a sci-fi fan, it looked as a nice catch, something not to be missed.

A serene, dreamlike landscape features glowing moons and planets above vibrant purple trees and flowers. A tranquil river reflects the celestial hues, creating a magical atmosphere.

Talk about bizarre. Still, it's beautiful in my book :) I don't know what species it is, but what impressive markings on the cheek, and what an oddly shaped mouth and bulbous nose. It was a gentle giant as it glided through the Shedd Aquarium of Chicago.
I had the joy of visiting the Shedd Aquarium in Chicago on April 8th, 2016, and I thoroughly enjoyed the experience.
Enjoy!
The wind and rain have conspired together to create fantastical rock formations in the New Mexico desert. Strange rock creatures surround the Alien Throne.
The east coast of Australia can look a little foreign at times...
This honeycomb pattern is tafoni weathering.
