'Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic'. (Arthur C. Clarke)
Ancient legends speak of giant flying beasts that came from the skies...
This model is a forebody of a Renaissance class exploration spaceship.

PS This model was supposed to be the first part of a much larger spaceship. My idea was to show how advanced technology transforms into new reality, and artificial creations become new nature. I used the citation of the Clarke's third law to refer to the hypothesis that humanity cannot find traces of activity of advanced extraterrestrial civilizations because they are indistinguishable from natural cosmic phenomena. I also wanted to connect this with an ufological theory that aliens were visiting Earth in the past and this was reflected in mythology.
"Soltanto perché è l'evento più naturale e quotidiano la magia appare così incredibile."
(Mario Andrea Rigoni, Variazioni sull'impossibile, 1993)
The light of the day is gone, and the waters of the Pacific Ocean are singing the endless song of waves crashing along the beach. But the darkness reveals this is no ordinary night along the shore. Billions of bioluminescent organisms have been thriving in the waters along the Southern California coast, and at times some waves light up with blue magic as the phytoplankton light up with the water’s disturbance. This was my second foray into trying to capture this long elusive (for me) phenomenon. It was very challenging to figure out where the waves would light up, and to try to frame them. I found 85mm was the best as the waves were only lighting up a bit off shore. An f2.8 70-200 might have been better. Stopping the water movement was pretty impossible as it was so dark. Here I stopped down to f2.5 to try to have at least a little depth of field. It’s hard to describe how neat this is, and if you ever have the opportunity see this when it happens you should try.
A witch is a person, often a woman, who practices witchcraft. A man that practices witchcraft is often called a warlock. The stereotypical witches are commonly portrayed as wicked old women who have wrinkled skin and pointy hats. They wear clothes that are black or purple. They also have warts on their noses and sometimes long claw-like fingernails. Witches have often been seen outside accepted cultures and faith. People often made them feel unwanted in their societies.
Een heks, ook wel kol of toverkol genoemd, is een persoon, meestal een vrouw, aan wie in vroeger tijden kennis en kunde werd toegedicht die een magisch karakter had, ook wel hekserij genoemd. Met hekserij wordt de praktijk van het oproepen en manipuleren van bovennatuurlijke krachten bedoeld. Deze veronderstelde magie zou hoofdzakelijk terug te voeren zijn op een zeer uitgebreide kennis van kruiden.

The last weekend of August 2008 took place the yearly World Statues Festival (Living Statues Festival) in the city centre of Arnhem (Netherlands) with more then 250 participants and over 300.000 visitors.
The 5th anniversary of World Statues is on the 29th and 30th of August 2009.
The term living statue refers to a mime artist who poses like a statue or mannequin, usually with realistic statue-like makeup, sometimes for hours at a time.
This is an art that requires a great deal of patience and physical stamina.

An exceptional amount of post processing went into this. I typically try to NOT spend too much time editing my photos, but sometimes you can't help it. This is particularly true with low light non long exposure shots.

Magic act as Jaardu the Magic of India enthralls with a presentation of prestigious prestidigitation.
Street theatre at Unexpected Exeter 2014. This was the wrong card - it magically changed a moment later for the right one!
I decided to play about with effects on an old image of Olè.
I haven't taken any new photos of him for years as he is retired out to pasture. These days, he is more occupied with eating rather than galloping about.
:-)
The magic of sunsets never ceases to amaze me. It happens everyday, but every day is totally different. I never tire of them, even the boring one. They are all special.

Album : Cruise ships Dublin 2016.
The cruise ship 'Disney Magic' sails from Dublin for Liverpool on a very gloomy summer evening.
The ship is one of 4 in the fleet and is a sister to the 'Disney Wonder'. The ship was built by Fincantieri in the Breda ship yard in Venice in 1998.
it was interesting in that the front section was built in Ancona and towed to Venice and joined to the aft section. This of course may explain why 'Goofy' is still messing about the at the back!
Patty Disney is the ships godmother. The ship underwent a major refit in 2013.
Its normal compliment is 1754 passengers although she is licensed to carry 2800. At 294 metres in length she is one of the bigger ships to visit Dublin.
