Pixie Caps (Acianthus fornicatus). Sadly they were being besieged with aphids! [From within a gully in the Lower Blue Mountains, NSW]
. From many stories it can be presumed that pixies are good, that one should want them to visit (as long as the house is clean). The picture, however, isn't quite so clear as sometimes pixies bring ill luck and cause nothing but trouble.
The very top of Pixie Pinnacle is just 2-3 metres underwater. It is situated on the Ribbon Reefs off the coast of Cooktown.
At 30 metres tall and roughly 15 metres across, Pixie Pinnacle is a pyramid of hard and soft corals, gorgonian fans, sea whips and sponges.
With my trusty fisheye lens, this was my attempt to capture the top of the pinnacle and show what this dive site is all about.
As Arthur C Clarke noted, any sufficiently advanced technology is is indistinguishable from magic. In the case of Magnetic Resonance Imaging scanners, the boundaries between technology and magic are blurred. Although we radiologists are taught in-depth MRI physics, the adage is that 'If you think you understand MRI physics, you don't'.
Hence many radiologist suspect that these machines have their internal workings controlled by pixies. This suspicion has now been affirmed - I captured one of these elusive pixies on camera just this morning.
This Siemens Aera is a state-of-the-art scanner at the Spire Hospital in Bristol where I do some 'humanitarian' work [ahem].
It is a hugely impressive machine; 4.8 tonnes in weight with a niobium-titanium superconducting magnet bathed in liquid helium (-269ºC), which itself is insulated by liquid nitrogen (-196ºC). This said, scanning is remarkable safe. So long as you aren't sporting ferromagnetic foreign bodies within you.
Interestingly MRI was largely invented by Sir Peter Mansfield who shared the Nobel prize in 2003. Sir Peter should not be confused with his namesake Flickrite, the all-round good egg Zenas M.
Again, lots of cross-gender costuming this year (cross-play?) so if a guy wants to dress as Pixie, a female X-Man, we're all just trying to respect the way the new generation rolls.
Here is a digital collage I made using The Belgium Abbey photograph in the photo post before this, as the base.
Followed by a plethora of fairy images from my collection!
The fairy images and lanterns in this piece are available on my fairytale follies collage cd, the Belgium Abbey image is available on my flickr site and in the Travel/Archaeology Collage CD!
Magic, Pixie and Fairy Joy!
Lisa!
Key is an Alien Bee B800 in a large Paul C Buff soft box camera left. There are two B800s in medium softboxes lighting the white seamless background, one two either side.
