Denas, I don't know if you are familiar with our Ged's uploads, but you are challenging him regards your image's 'bizarre' factor. This upload is really quite unsettling. If I was five years old and this thing bought me a birthday cake, I'd be hiding behind the sofa faster than our Jane's pet mountain lion could catch and eat an unwary hiker.

Haha thanks, Trevor! Is that Ged Traynor you're talking about? I'm not familiar with their work, would you have a link?

This isn't like my usual work as I usually do digital painting or graphic design and don't often do image collages. If you're curious to see, I'm reworking my page now but it will be live on the 14th. https://denas.me/

PS. Looks like you're on a hike in your profile picture— watch out for any mountain lions!

Did he create the storm or is he looking for shelter? 🙂

As an aside, that's a very nice storm pic!

Thanks Dave.

I currently do not have access to my picture database, so I looked for something dramatic on my flickr account.

The picture is from Cadzand Bad (NL), and I was just out to take some nice pictures, when the clouds did build up. I hadn't seen BB-8 at that time, but obviously, the robot was bombing my picture, somehow.

Lots of sporting themed images this week. Poor BB-8 will have a few dents to knock out!

It occurs to me Dave, that I should be too ashamed to have mentioned the World Cup considering New Zealand's terrible performance. Fortunately, I don't really follow sport, unless there are engines or sails involved, so don't care.
