Many of his famous stories took place all over the world, so I felt the need to add a globe to his study.

“I’ll introduce myself if I may be so bold...
You know me as Cthulhu and I’m twelve-zillion years old.
Mine is a universe of boundless and immeasurable cold,
And I predate mankind, so you’re squatting on My world.
As much as I can be described to your simple human mind,
I bear great tendrils in front, and dragon-wings behind.
And though I may repulse, like all My ageless kind,
I am the highest form of life that you shall ever find.”
Lockdown rummage and found some old ambulance pictures!
Not too long ago but one forgets the vehicles so quickly!!

Couple of Volvo cars here used as RRVs in Sheffield.
At Middlewood Ambulance Station..
I work for Yorkshire Ambulance Service in and around the city of Sheffield in South Yorkshire.
It’s a great job and I feel very honoured to be able to help people at their point of need.
Check out the website for all sorts of info re YAS and the work we do.
Maybe there are some uses for this POOP/SPUD Fig.
Also, the Atlantis heads fit nicely on standard figs, whereas Hagrids food catcher beard doesn't. WTF?
These splendid photos from Tom Lin :3= and Miso-Soup just suited the mood today, so I rearranged my desk to take a photo of them together with a photo of me I took 5 minutes before.
The photos are actually on the monitors, rather than pasted into the photoshop file. I use cooliris to review the 365 days group and they are on the monitors at full screen. I, however, am on the desktop of the Ferrari, which happens to be dual-heading itself and the monitor on the left - the monitor on the left is showing cooliris, and the laptop screen is just showing the desktop. So I've only got 2 computers. Although the monitor on the left is actually a computer in its own right. It just happens to double as a pretty good laptop monitor. Oh, and there's a laptop behind me. And the one downstairs.
Guess what. My desk isn't really that shiny.
Bored yet?
This sunroom doesn't look safe enough for anyone to use it, but it's rather different one.
It belongs to this house:

My first experiment with a 360 degree drawing. Far from perfect. I have to get used to how the image pinches and stretches, especially at the poles. Originally created for Facebook.
Works best when viewed on a mobile device.
'Cough', the ones on the right!! 😅
My father 94 and his second wife Mary 88..
Both doing well and they still head off in the caravan now and again! Mary driving, dad's stopped driving now but he uses the power 'caravan mover' if you know what that is!!
We are heading back up towards Greater London/Surrey to see the mother tomorrow!
Slightly fuzzy selfie here!!
The "Elder Things" from H. P. Lovecraft's "At The Mountains Of Madness" are one of the very first Ancient Aliens/Astronauts to show up in literature!
Long before the human race even began to evolve, the Elder Things travelled from a distant star to our planet. They built an amazing civilization, with ruins that could withstand even a billion years of emptiness. Within their massive, ornate cities, they also created the amorphous Shoggoths as a race of slaves, servile creatures to do their bidding.
The Elder Things ruled in eace until Cthulhu and its Star-Spawn invaded, setting off the first major war in Earth's history. Amazingly, they were able to fight off Cthulhu, until the ancient One retreated to sleep beneath the waves in his city of R'yleh. The Elder Things then came into conflict with the Mi-Go and even the Great Race of Yith, still surviving each conflict until they were finally at peace again. But this, too, did not last, as the Shoggoths gained minds of their own, and soon rebelled against their masters. The civil war with the Shoggoths was the most brutal one yet, and the Elder Things nearly destroyed themselves in order to subdue their Shoggoths again. And yet, after surviving so many wars, their time was running out - the first great Ice Age came, and this spelled the doom of the Elder Things. Survivors had to flee their great cities or die, with a few remnants settling beneath the ocean, in an environment that could sustain them. But soon, even their cities were overrun by rebelling Shoggoths.
There are hints that the race is not entirely extinct in the Cthulhu Mythos, and at least some survived frozen long enough to be revived (temporarily) in At The Mountains of Madness. But for the most part, the Elder Race is long gone, leaving only a few scattered ruins and the monster Shoggoths as evidence of their once-great society.

Ph'nglui mglw'nafh Cthulhu R'lyeh wgah'nagl fhtagn
In his house at R'lyeh dead Cthulhu waits dreaming
When the road dips again there are stretches of marshland that one instinctively dislikes, and indeed almost fears at evening when unseen whippoorwills chatter and the fireflies come out in abnormal profusion to dance to the raucous, creepily insistent rhythms of stridently piping bullfrogs.
And out of the midst of it shone two burning points like eyes, and I saw a writhing and stirring as of limbs, and something moved and lifted up what might have been an arm.
They were not composed altogether of flesh and blood. They had shape...but that shape was not made of matter.
When the stars were right, They could plunge from world to world through the sky; but when the stars were wrong, They could not live. But although They no longer lived, They would never really die. They all lay in stone houses in Their great city of R'lyeh, preserved by the spells of mighty Cthulhu for a glorious resurrection when the stars and the earth might once more be ready for them.
That is not dead which can eternal lie.
And with strange aeons even death may die.
Also known as the "Howler in the Dark," this is one of Nyarlathotep's far more beastly, brutal forms. Most often, it is depicted as slender, on tripod legs, and witha curved tentacle in place of a head (does it seem familiar now?). But Nyarlathotep is absolutely comfortable occasionally shedding his subtle seducer forms, and transforming into a howling giant when it suits him.
well to explain the title I can just say I think she looks superbeautiful in this photo :)
So thats the last one from this shooting:)
Question: Who wants to see another shooting with Corinna than please tell me :)
have a great day.
Also known as the "Star Vampire," the titular creature appeared in a 1935 story by Robert Bloch (better known for writing Psycho). Bloch and Lovecraft were friends, and Lovecraft gave Bloch express permission to "portray, murder, annihilate, disintegrate, transfigure, metamorphose, or otherwise manhandle the undersigned in the tale entitled The Shambler From The Stars."
And so, in the story:
A horror author (who happened to resemble H. P. Lovecraft) happened to find De Vermis Mysteriis - "The Secret of the Worm" - in a used book store. And in his eagerness to finally see the true mysteries behind the cosmos, the shadowy things that he had only dared write about! The young man first tried to summon a familiar, a creature from beyond the stars to help him. What came instead was a nightmare.
The Shambler, an invisible monstrosity of teeth and tentacles, announced its presence with a manic, tittering laugh. And then it latched onto its would-be summonier, sucking the blood from his body and devouring him. It was then, and only then that the creature could be seen by the naked eye. Because once it feasts, the invisible creature cannot cover up the vermillion fluid now running through its horrific body.
And yes, this is the "Shambler" in Scribblenauts.
A creation of Clark Ashton Smith, Abhoth is the source of all corruption and abomination - the Old One itself is a featureless gray mass, a blob the size of a flood, and it resides deep under the earth. Creatures continually spawn from Abhoth's body - this one is a chaotic mass of ooze, teeth, and eyes, but in truth no two Children of Abhoth are alike. Some resemble monstrous humans, some severed but living body parts, others deformed abominations, and still more blobs or formless beasts of chaos. Abhoth's realm is where the laws of nature go to be devoured.
