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 ...

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.
Alien art
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.
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!
A Dragonfly Nymph casing, quite Alien looking in its appearance but another marvelous example of natures magical transformations.

Pareidolia, I noticed this little Alien faced light fixture while I was visiting the eye doctor this morning.
I was actually returning to sculpting minifigs for a bit and decided I needed a scale reference and ended up making this version of Ripley instead. The rubber bands hold the half bubble dome in place quite securely and provide a nice thin line for the helmet at the same time.
Now to try and get some of these parts in pink, yellow and blue for Dallas, Kane and Lambert.
Are they just waiting for the perfect time to make themselves known to humans? Only time will tell...

Spotted this bugger on the side of the house today when I came from work.
She was ready for a photoshoot.
Had her head turned like a Runway Model
*Enlarge for a fantastic close-up of her eyes!*
As I watched the Sage Grouse perform their mating dance I wondered if they were the model for some of the aliens in movies.
Taken with a Nikon D700 and a Nikon 35mm f2
This area was one of many that burned this year. It's appearance, as I walked through it, looked alien. Everything had burned as far as I could see.

This is another photo from Alien World. I had planned to get out ther in October, but it isn't working out. I can't find anyone to go with me. Just don't think it is worth the risk to do it alone.
So if anyone is interested, and can hike in severe conditions, let me know. I plan on going to KOW and Alien World one day, and would think about doing some hikes in the northern part of Bisti Badlands on another. It would have to be someone I have followed and they followed me on Flickr for sometime..
"On top of the world" makes me think celestial. I always loved space. Loved visits to the Griffith Park Observatory as a child. So I am reminded of the recent UFO sighting in Texas that has zero explanation. Some call me crazy here, but I think it's crazy to think we're alone in this vast universe. Sure, the laws of physics apply to us all, Earthling or whatever. So getting here would be rather advanced and fairly mighty--way more mighty than us guys are capable of who thought we were being overtaken by communists when a poor dog got shot to the moon not that long ago.
But if you listen to the news for about five minutes: senseless war, senseless hatred, senseless cruelty, senseless desire for power and money (or hey, just listen to our President for five minutes!) it becomes obvious that, although human kind has made some pretty amazing advances over time and figured out some complicated stuff (hundreds of year ago even) and have created some breathtaking art and committed acts of beauty and humility and selflessness, we're just not there. We just don't have the stuff yet. Hey, women in other countries are still covered head to toe by men who are afraid of their power. Today is MLK day and it reminds me of how racism rears its ugly head so easily. Once again, all because we're afraid of others. Afraid of what we don't know and what power others may have over us.
Yeah sure. Large multi-eyed aliens come here with big lasers or phasers or whatever and take us over in seconds and eat our heads. Sure, could be that scenario. But perhaps not. Perhaps they're just like us, only from a graduating class a few millennia earlier. You know, class of 10,000--except we call that 250 BC. And maybe they figured it out and checking out their galaxial neighbors to see what's up over in our end.
So, outside on this beautiful, sunny and still chilly Seattle day went me and the camera, in search of. I didn't even see a plane today (flight paths), but I did convene with a bunch of chicadees. That tree over my head is full of them, chirping loudly, chatting. Hmmmm. Maybe...maybe. Something to consider.
(Cut to stage left where Caly and Levi use their weapons to kill the two guards in the wings, and Caly spots Sienna, Mateo, and Ronan on the opposite side of the stage.)
Levi: They've made Trajan a lifevessel?
Caly: I guess he's bigger on the inside, now.
(Caly gives Levi a smile and a shrug before leaping off the stage and dashing down the length of the remaining queue in front of Lilitus, her right hand brushing the skin of each human as she passes, skipping Dyanna, and the people sway, each feeling a little lightheaded. She stops before Lilitus.)
Caly: Well, hello imperious impersonator.
Lilitus: (looking down at Caly) Tenet scum!
Caly: Now that we're acquainted--
(Caly leaps onto the edge of the stage, landing on her left hand and kicking out with both feet, hitting the heavy podium and sending it crashing into Lilitus, sending both skidding to the back of the stage.)
Mateo: Think that's the sign?
Sienna: Looks like a sign to me.
(Sienna, Mateo, and Ronan dash onto the ballroom floor from one side of the stage while Levi dashes out from the other side)
Levi: Ronan! Get the humans out! (pointing at the dizzy formal-attired humans, then starting to kill what remained of guards of those waiting to board)
(Cut to the back of the stage where Lilitus kicks the podium away like it was paper, facing off with Caly.)
Lilitus: I've consumed dozens of lives, tenet!
Caly: That explains the chin bloat.
Lilitus: (drawing a different sort of weapon than Caly held) Die, traitor!
(Caly performs a quick backflip as Lilitus fires, the beam passing over her, scoring the carpet. Caly glances at the burn pattern where she'd been a moment before.)
Caly: Okay, lesson learned. I shouldn't body shame.
(to be continued)
Thank you to the cast!

Thanx for Viewin, Favin, and Commentin on my Stream!
A Lego set style version, not overly screen accurate but modular and with play features. You can attach different cargo to the roof, the rear engine detaches as do the side "V" walls and cab. The cab has room for two figs inside but I'm still working on getting the roof to hinge open. I'm working on another version where the legs are more true to the movie version but still something of a playset.
This is the usual alien abduction we're used to seeing, but Killer set a trap for the aliens. He had actually planned this all out so that they'd grab us, we'd get on their ship and wreak havoc all over the place. Aliens note: Killer don't play!!
Kea also took a shot of us, you can view it here on her stream.
