Purple-petalled poppy.
Taken in my daughter’s garden in July. This one is a medium-sized poppy cultivar - I liked the petals with the purple eyes.
And another example of my obsession with top-down, centrally-aligned, symmetric (and rather boring, I guess) view of flowers. I really should try something else!
Thank you for taking the time to look. I hope you enjoy the image :)

"Macro Mondays" "Queen"
(Figurine of Alien Queen /face is half a credit card)
The "Alien" (also referred to as "Xenomorph XX121") is a fictional endoparasitoid extraterrestrial species that is the eponymous antagonist of the Alien film series. The queen was designed by Cameron in collaboration with special effects artist Stan Winston, based upon an initial painting Cameron had done at the start of the project. In the years since the release of Alien, the Alien has become one of the world's most recognized movie monsters and a pop-cultural icon. In 2003, the Alien was voted as the 14th most memorable screen villain by the American Film Institute.

In another Galaxy
Em outra Galáxia
Just below the summit of Legges Tor, which rises above the central plateau of Ben Lomond, we come across some interesting equipment. The ski lift is obvious enough, but my title reflects a little confusion as to the origins of the solar panel on the right.
My first thought was a weather station, but that seems unlikely since we lack the means of measuring rainfall and wind speed (there's no anemometer). Is it an alien probe? My guess is that it in fact measures seismic activity and relays this information electronically.
Interestingly enough, this is the only place on the entire mountain that has mobile phone reception. So one would think that our phones can tap into whatever signal is being emitted from this "probe". Any suggestions warmly welcomed.
Is this a space ship landed in ancient times, is it an alien egg or the dragon egg of legend? Who knows.
May be our origin lays within this shell, because we too are born of eggs floating in an ocean.
This shot was taken at a glorious sunrise at Moeraki, New Zealand.
Maori tales state that the boulders littering the beach of Koekohe are storage baskets and sweet potatoes fallen off the canoes of the mighty gods, who formed The Land Of The Big White Cloud.
Certainly scientific researchers tell another story:

Ist aus diesem Ei in grauer Vorzeit ein Alien geschlüpft?
Wer weiß, vielleicht stammen wir sogar von ihm ab, denn auch wir entstehen aus Eiern, die befruchtet in einem Ozean schwimmen. :)
Dieses Bild wurde kurz vor Sonnenaufgang am Strand der Moeraki Boulders auf der Südinsel Neuseelands aufgenommen.
Die Maori in Neuseeland erzählen sich, dass die runden Felsenkugeln am Strand von Koekohe in der Nähe von Moeraki Vorratskörbe und Süßkartoffeln wären, die aus dem Kanu der Götter gefallen sind, die Neuseeland geformt haben.
A pink alien with green spots and purple veins? Obviously not but this macro shot of a drop of water on the leaf of an ornamental cabbage put me in mind of such.

This short-eared Owl takes the saying, “sticking your neck out” quite literally. 😅
.
Or maybe it’s a big fan of the alien movies.
.
The lighting was pretty rough as the owl was mostly backlit with harsh sun, so I put my ISO as low as it could go, so I had more range to push later on.

Todays (12th Aug 2007) walk through the Botanic Garden in Linz (Upper Austria) gave me the opportunity to move to something completely different after all those stage shootings I did recently.
Usually I do not flash animals but I accepted this for the fly on the blossom here. It did not care ...

Captured this with three RAW shots at -2..0..+2 EV. Digital blending in Photoshop CS6. I increased the overall saturation with Hue/Saturation in Photoshop. Curve adjustment to increase the overall contrast. 1 layer mask in soft light mode at 50% gray, using brush tool to lighten and darken some areas of the image, to bring out details. Topaz DeNoise to reduce noise. Topaz Clarity for additional boost in color and contrast.

My picture above is showing that an alien bird is picking up a leaf.
Development of some aliens from an animal stage to a developed stage ( at tree of life) might take very long time or the expected development might not happen at all if some components don't come together.
The environment, the world they are in, might not be very rich for the development of the aliens, and/or biological development might head in a very different direction. Their "tree of life" might not have proper branches for a progressive development. The tree would be weak, like a tree in a desert.
For a chemical reaction, we have to have specific atoms. We need substances to create other substances. For reactions to happen, we have to have some conditions present at the place where the reaction should happen.
Already developed aliens would be the lucky ones, passing all hurdles. When we consider the existence of billions of stars, planets and a lot of different places within planets in our universe, the probability would be very hight to be lucky for some aliens.
Another issue is that we might not see any alien at all because of the distance between stars and galaxies. Non of us ( we and aliens ) might reach the very high development to create very high technology to fly that far ( the distance between galaxies getting more in each day, expanding universe ) before our universe collapse, before the black holes pull the galaxies, before the stars of the planets explode, before the artificial intelligence takes over ( AI doesn’t need to be conscious and alive, and doesn’t need to have feelings and emotions. it can survive on its own if it is programmed properly ), etc.
Al might be the biggest threat to humans and aliens, it could wipe out them very easily. The creation of very destructive Al is possible when we consider how much hatred there are in our world between nations, races and between the people with different religions.
During a wander around the marshes, reeds and tributaries of the river Alde at Shingle Street, I noticed this unusual looking view and had to capture it. Six shot panorama using a Nikon D750 and a 24-120mm with a soft GND8 with a red filter on the black and white.
The buds of the Agapanta flower suspiciously remind me of the aliens in "The War of The Worlds" sending me on an imaginary trip into another place and time!
This is one of my favorite rock formations. It is amazing what water and wind create in given enough time..

Private 1 : Wow, they're beautiful!
Private 2 : Lieutenant, what are they?
Lieutenant : Some kind of alien life form... I better tell the Captain!
Lieutenant calls the Captain...
Lieutenant : Captain, we've found them! There's a lot of them... They look like orange circular discs... Although they don't look hostile... they must be the aliens we've been looking for...
Captain : Negative! that's not them. From your description, they sound like they're just "bokeh from a Canon 50mm f1.8 II". Keep looking!
Lieutenant : Roger that Captain.
Lieutenant to the Privates: Keep looking boys! They're just bokeh...
Working in my garden, I became aware of slight movement to my right.....and a sense of 'being watched'.
Sure enough, perched there in the golden foliage of my Swane's cypress was a lovely praying mantis making its rounds, on the look out for its next meal. However, it had been distracted by my activity and we hung out together for a short while.
What is of interest to me here is that this is the first time I have photographed a praying mantis and not seen the pseudo-pupil black dot on each eye. To me this gives the impression of being even more alien-like.
