Genesis 1:20-23 (NLT)
And God said, "Let the waters swarm with fish and other life. Let the skies be filled with birds of every kind."
So God created great sea creatures and every sort of fish and every kind of bird. And God saw that it was good.
Then God blessed them, saying, "Let the fish multiply and fill the oceans. Let the birds increase and fill the earth."
This all happened on the fifth day.
DRAWING NOTES:
TIME OF DAY:
Indeterminate
LIGHTING NOTES:
Light is entering the sea & causing beams of light to permeate the deep.
CHARACTERS PRESENT:
God is present, of course. See below for the list of birds, fish & other animals present in this scene.
RESEARCH/ADDITIONAL NOTES:
I decided to have this split-screen view, showing both the birds of the air & the fish of the sea in the same scene. I wanted to show some of the varieties of fish & birds which the Lord has created. Rather than just create one type the Lord seems to really love diversity & His amazing creativity is very evident in the natural world!
Apart from this diversity I also wanted to draw the viewers attention to the life cycle of birds & fish. In the top right hand corner you can see eggs in a nest which represents the beginning of the life cycle of birds. The chick to the left further suggests that development from egg to adult bird. There are brown feathers in the bottom left of the picture, which represent the unique nature of birds, especially there ability to fly.
Interestingly, many fish also come from eggs, in the lower left of the picture, behind the lobster, you can see a green Mermaid’s Purse (aka Devil’s Purse), which is an egg case or capsule surrounding the fertilized eggs of some sharks, skates, and chimaeras.
Birds (from left to right):
Bald Eagle (Haliaeetus leucocephalus)
Asian Crested Ibis (aka Japanese Crested Ibis or Toki ) (Nipponia nippon)
Common Kingfisher (aka Eurasian Kingfisher or River Kingfisher) (Alcedo atthis)
Ostrich (aka Common Ostrich) (Struthio camelus)
Indian Peafowl (aka Peacock) (Pavo cristatus)
Mandarin Duck (Aix galericulata)
Andean Condor (Vultur gryphus)
Red Kite (Milvus milvus)
Brown Pelican (Pelecanus occidentalis)
Common Blackbird (Turdus merula)
Chicken chick (Gallus gallus domesticus)
4 Dunnock (aka Hedge Accentor, Hedge Sparrow or Hedge Warbler) (Prunella modularis) eggs in nest
Magellanic Penguin (Spheniscus magellanicus) diving into the sea in the middle of the scene.
Sea animals (from left to right):
American Lobster (Homarus americanus)

Zellers is the Canadian version of K-Mart. They also produced their own line of bootleg Atari 2600 carts for the low, low price of $6.99. Not only were the games almost all stolen, but the artwork for them was largely stolen as well. For instance, "Challenge" features an image that's clearly two Ghostbusters, Frontline is a crop of the Xevious cabinet art. Busy Police (Not pictured) is at least stolen from Keystone Kapers, the game it was a rip-off of.
I'm sure the rest of them are also stolen from other places, but I'm not an expert on mid-80's sci-fi art involving spaceships and line-art neon dragons and sexy space robots riding robotic plesiosaurs.
... or The Leviathan, at the National Marine Aquarium, Plymouth, Devon, England.
"Many people, locals and tourists alike, wonder about the meaning behind this strange sea creature which looks out over Plymouth’s famous Barbican. Designed by Brian Fell of Glossop, Derbyshire and installed as part of an Arts Council initiative it is an amalgamation of various fish and marine life. It has a cormorant’s feet, a plesiosaurus’s tail, the fin of a John Dory, a lobster’s claws and the head of an angler fish. The pole supporting the fantastic sea creature, which is manufactured from mild steel coated with copper paint giving it its attractive colouring, is decorated with plaques describing other sea creatures. Named “The leviathan” and sitting 33 feet above the West Pier the imaginative sculpture has become an icon of Plymouth, affectionately nicknamed the Barbican Prawn" (www.visitplymouth.co.uk/dbimgs/HD-01SWCPbooklet_v14.pdf).

Today we went for a wander along to the Warren in Folkestone to dig up a few dinosaurs !
The coastline between Folkestone and Dover exposes rocks of Cretaceous age (142-65 million years old), including two rock exposures of particular importance. The series of cliff sections at the western end of the site, with some 50m of Folkestone Beds (Lower Greensand) and Gault, represents the most important single locality for studying these rocks in England.
The Gault Clay exposures in East Wear Bay yield beautifully preserved fossils, including ammonites, bivalves and crabs and have also produced the fossilised remains of a number of types of marine reptiles including turtles, ichthyosaurs, plesiosaurus and pliosaurs.

Plesiosaurs were among the first fossil reptiles discovered. In the beginning of the nineteenth century, scientists realised how distinctive their build was and they were named as a separate order in 1835. The first plesiosaurian genus, the eponymous Plesiosaurus, was named in 1821. Since then, more than a hundred valid species have been described. In the early twenty-first century, the number of discoveries has increased, leading to an improved understanding of their anatomy, relationships and way of life.
Plesiosaurs had a broad flat body and a short tail. Their limbs had evolved into four long flippers, which were powered by strong muscles attached to wide bony plates formed by the shoulder girdle and the pelvis. The flippers made a flying movement through the water. Plesiosaurs breathed air, and bore live young; there are indications that they were warm-blooded.
Dinosaur collection comisioned in 1852 and unveiled in 1854, in exhibition in the London park of Crystal Palace. These models are clearly out of date, but they are anyway beautiful.
At the time, they caused outrage amongst British creationist (Point for Darwin...)
From Wikipedia: Though a portion of the three Ichthyosaurus are submerged by water (though early shots show that unlike the Mosasaurus most of the model was completed) they are in fact basking on the land similar to Seals or Walrus do today, something we now know would kill them. In the time of the Crystal Palace Dinosaurs' productions the beasts were considered more along the lines of crocodiles or the Plesiosaurus; recently it has been uncovered they have more in common with sharks and dolphins with a dorsal fin and fish-like tail, both of which are not present in Hawkins's models. Instead the tails are a flat protuberance from a straight backbone. A further discrepancy is that the models' eyes have exposed sclerotic plates (bones that stopped their eyes from being crushed by the pressure under sea). However as a whole the ichthyosaurs are one of the more accurate animals and became one of the three 'mascot dinosaurs' along with the Iguanodon and Megalosaurus (although ichthyosaurs are not dinosaurs at all).

Inspired on the plesiosaurus designed by Satoshi Kamiya
From my exhibit
Probably the hardest hit by the MC'd layers coming apart in the cool humid air. All four fins came dislodged from the body, and the head partially unfolded.

Wet-folded from an uncut square of elephant-hide paper
Originally intended it to be an elasmosaurus, but the neck is kinda short =D. This was actually designed for a design challenge a few months ago on the forum, but it was kinda 2d then and I didn't really like it, so i turned the concept around and wet-shaped it instead.

Plesiosaurus Flamingo - is a handcrafted garden dragon art sculpture using an upcycled plastic flamingo base, weather resistant finish quality copper paints, paper mache and recycled materials. Not your ordinary Lawn Flamingo!
'Nessie' Flamingo loves the beach and making friends although many of her new friends have a difficult time explaining that they have a dinosaur in their garden. Nessie is a small version of a very large Plesiosaurus because I couldn't fit the full size version in a cardboard box for shipping. Each Flamingo Incognito is alway slightly different as they are individually made when ordered. Each one is unique.
Plesiosaurus were large marine reptiles that lived during the Jurassic Period can now live again in your garden. Although there are modern myths surrounding this creature, such as the myth of the Loch Ness monster (Nessie), these dinosaurs are known to be extinct. It is distinguishable by its small head, long and slender neck, broad turtle-like body, tail, and two pairs of large, elongated paddles.
Underneath it all:.
Flamingo Incognitos are always one of a kind because they are handmade one at a time. Other than the basic pink plastic flamingo beneath it all there are no pre-made parts. Flamingo Incognitos are at heart, plain ol’ 1950’s, kitschy, pink plastic yard birds. They have been re-invented with household plastic leftovers, handmade assorted body parts, objects d’art from the studio junk drawer, used kids craft foam, waterproof glue, creative theatrical use of outdoor-friendly spray paint and large doses of imagination. The speckling is not glitter but a theater trick of speckling with paints. Some flames do contain glitter. The ultimate yard art, these flamingos are guaranteed to make people look twice or maybe three times!
Custom identity crisis flamingos are also available and price depends on how complex your imagination is; let’s talk. How about wedding birds, school mascots, a replica of great aunt Suzie, your boss, a Harry Potter interpretation, your pet pug or a wizard of OZ? Anything is possible, however please do not request copyrighted characters.
These birds have been tested in the Pacific Northwest weather. They come with separate metal legs for inserting into a garden, a potted plant or a window box. They are art pieces, not toys and not meant for children to play with. Although weather resistant, they are also not intended to survive the winter outdoors. Since they are, after all, tropical birds down deep. It is suggested that they be kept warm and dry during stormy weather. Care has been made to make sure colors do not fade (a UV coating) but it is not guaranteed due to the variety of parts used and severe weather conditions. They stand about 31 inches high.
They will be shipped in biodegradable materials or bubble wrap, in a flamingo sized recycled/recyclable cardboard box (big enough not to squish wings and things) by USPS parcel post. International shipping is USPS First Class. I usually ship on Mondays. Shipping costs will vary depending on where you live. Please allow 1 week to 10 days for delivery, of course you could get it within 10 days depending on the post office. If you have any questions, would like more than one or need your Flamingo sooner please email me.

Went to Crystal Palace park today to have a look at the dinosaurs etc. In this Triptych you can see from Left to Right -
Plesiosaurus - Ichthyosaurus - Iguanodons - Teleosaurus
This image has notes also to read them run mouse over photo.. The statues are looking a lot better since i last visited about 30 years ago,They went through some restoration work last year.
Plesiosaurus ("near to lizard"), a large marine sauropterygian reptile that lived during the early part of the Jurassic Period.
Dinosaur Court
This series of sculpted dinosaurs and extinct mammals was commissioned in 1854 and unveiled in 1856. This was designed to accompany the Crystal Palace in its new home in Bromley.
The beasts were built by Benjamin Waterhouse Hawkins, and were the first of their kind. Hawkins was assisted with Sir Richard Owen providing some technical guidance on the dinosaurs.
The design of some of these dinosaurs are rather innacurate, but others are believed to be quite realistic.
Crystal Palace Park came from the Penge Place estate when, in 1854, the Crystal Palace was moved from Hyde Park (where it was set up in 1851 for The Great Exhibition).
The Crystal Palace was designed by Joseph Paxton, who also played a role in the relocation and designing the new site with its Italian gardens and terraces.
The area waned in the late c19th, and despite hosting the Festival of Empire in 1911, the managing company declared bankruptcy. In 1913 the Earl of Plymouth purchased it to save it, and a public supscription was raised to purchase it for the nation.
It was a naval training ground during the Great War, after which it was the first Imperial War Museum.
The 1920s saw a programme of restoration and rejuvenation, but 30 November 1936 an office fire broke out and the building burned down.
Since then the Park has hosted various events and partial development. Today it is primarily a public park.
Taken in Crystal Palace
This Pokémon is based on the fabled Loch Ness Monster in Scotland, also known as Nessie. The creature and this Pokémon are said to resemble the marine reptile known as the plesiosaurus. However, while Lapras has a long neck, it is not nearly as long as the plesiosaurus's neck, whereas the body is very similar to the creature that is said to be in Loch Ness. Lapras's intelligence, singing and rarity can be comparable with some cetaceans. It is also possible that its long neck and head (as well as its whole body) take some inspiration from the mast heads and hulls of Viking ships.
Lapras was originally going to be called "Ness," derived from the Loch Ness monster, but it was changed before Pokémon Red and Blue were released. Lapras can learn three of the four one-hit-knockout moves. The only one it cannot learn is Guillotine.
