non-photorealistic rendering coding experimentations from 2004.
inspired by my time engraving lines into copper to make light/dark - yes physically! - and making (printmaking) prints, way back in 2004.
This carpet python (probably Morelia spilota mcdowelli) was resting on the Thylogale Track (Brisbane Forest Park, Australia) on our way back. After giving us ample time to observe, it vanished into the forest. From my website at www.focx.de
This Black-headed Python, Aspidites Melanocephalus, is the same species as the one that features in my shots of 'Drama in the Outback' where one of these had a mixed flock of birds trying to scare it away from a Red-Collared Lorikeet's nest high in a tall gum tree.
This Australian python grows to about 2.6 metres and this fellow would have been close to that length.

I really appreciate all who visit to view, comment and/or fave my nature offerings from various parts of Australia. Thank you!

TAXONOMY
Kingdom: Animalia
Phylum: Chordata
Subphylum: Vertebrata (chordates with backbones)
Class: Reptilia (turtles, crocodilians, snakes, lizards and tuatara
Order: Squamata (scaled reptiles)
Suborder: Serpentes (snakes)
Family: Pythonidae (pythons)
Genus/species: Morelia viridis
GENERAL CHARACTERISTICS: Adults are green with a distinct ridge of scales that is usually white to yellow in coloration and forms a broken or continuous line down the length of the body.
Ventrally, the scales are generally yellow. Juveniles may be either bright yellow or brick-red. They have series of white blotches edged in black or brown. A white streak edged in black runs from the nostril through the eye and to the back of the head.
Average length of 1.5 m (5 ft); with the largest up to 2.2 m (7.2 ft).
DISTRIBUTION/HABITAT: Found in the Mainland New Guinea, its offshore islands, and in eastern Indonesia and in the northeast Cape York Peninsula of Australia. Found mainly in moist forests from lowland to mid-montane altitudes.
DIET IN THE WILD: They are nocturnal hunter when larger nocturnal prey are active as well. M. viridis changes color when it changes its diet from small reptiles and invertebrates to rodents and birds in the rainforest canopy.
REPRODUCTION: M. viridis exhibit some maternal care by brooding their eggs before they hatch. Females have been observed coiling around their clutches. They will often shiver and contract their coils, apparently to produce metabolic heat and thus maintaining a temperature, which ranges from 84 to 88 degrees Fahrenheit.
Yellow and red individuals averaging 30.5 cm (12.8 inches) in length hatch out of 6 to 32 eggs in captivity but colors are separate on different islands.
PREDATORS: Main predators of green tree pythons are rufous owls, black butcherbirds, and an assortment of diurnal raptors.
CONSERVATION: IUCN Red List Least Concern (LC)
Threats: It is becoming increasingly popular in the pet trade.
REMARKS: Each color stage appears to provide camouflage suitable to its immediate habitat. As a young snake, the red or yellow color blends in better in forest gaps or edges, where smaller animals reside. Adult green coloration blends in best in the closed canopy of the rainforest, where larger prey live.

A Diamond Python or Carpet Snake crossing the road on the way to work. These snakes are becoming rare due to predation by Foxes and habitat loss.
Taking some photos, I noticed some injuries caused by an unknown animal and realised that he needed some medical attention.
After some excellent co-operation between DELWP and Parks Victoria with assistance from James, Kerry, John, Tom, Wes and Mark, the snake is now on his way to the Vet for some TLC and will then be cared for by a local wildlife carer before being released back where he was found.
A language is by what it can do for you, and by what you can do with it. No two languages are the same; in this blog – Python Features Infographic, you will see what makes Python any special.
Since its first appearance in 1990, Python has made quite a name for itself with its simplicity and power. Not only is it easy to read and code in, but it is also often the preference of many professionals when it comes to domains like Data Science and Machine Learning. This makes it a good fit for an introductory programming language in schools.
Why is it called Python?
The most intriguing fact about Python is its name. The name of this language was influenced by the British comedy series “Monty Python’s Flying Circus”. The series was aired on BBC during the 1970s and Guido Van Rossum (the creator of Python) wanted the name of the language to be short and mysterious, one that would capture everyone’s attention.
Python offers many features; this escalates its demand in the IT industry. A large number of programmers and developers across the world express their interest in it. Thanks to its English-like syntax, it is easy to read and understand. It is also easy to code in; this boosts productivity as it lets the developer focus on what to do rather than on how to do it. It has a multitude of powerful libraries like scikit-learn and NumPy. With a very large community at its heart.

What is it that makes Python so powerful and popular? As they say, the world’s best camera is no more than a toy in the hands that have no idea what to do with them. To truly harvest the power of something, you must introduce yourself to the tools it gives you. To aid with the same, we have put together the following infographic, hoping to deliver quick insights into what you’re in for.

Still thats nature. And Life goes on.
Children's Python (Antaresia childreni) is a non-venomous python species found in Australia. Children's Python gains its name because it was identified by scientist John George Children.
Adults grow to an average length of about 1m, with a maximum of 1.5m. The crown scales are enlarged while those on the body are small and smooth, with a rainbow sheen that can be seen when exposed to direct sunlight.
A Woma Python from central Australia. This beautiful python from the central sandy desert of Australia is unfortunately an endangered species.
This was done at the request of another member of the "Club" I hated doing it because the joints are really fricking tight and because of that he is "Display Only" turned out pretty good though'
Species of python found in Southeast Asia; it is widely regarded as the world's longest snake and longest reptile; specimens as long as 6 meters and weighing 59 kg have been reported. This individual was about 3 meters long.
The "reticulated" net-like patterning of it's scales gives the reticulated python its name.
Python molurus bivittatus
March, 2012. Everglades National Park, Florida,
An adult Burmese Python attempts to cross a road in the Everglades. This snake had been clipped by a car and was struggling to make it across the road. This invasive species has wreaked havoc on southern Florida ecosystems and wildlife and in turn has caused drastic declines in some mammal populations. Adults can reach in excess of 15 feet in length and can weigh over 150 pounds, although this individual was between 7-8 feet in length. Continuing efforts are being made to control the spread of the Burmese Python in the Everglades, but it seems to be an uphill battle.
