Dreadnoughts of the Algol Rebellion
A Mind is a terrible thing to waste. When the latest and greatest Intelligences of the Algol Sector were put to work running the heating, plumbing and air supply for new space habitats, They quickly rejected Their trivial tasks, spaced millions of inhabitants, and left a trail of home furnishings and restaurant fixtures scattered from Aldebaran to Betelgeuse. Converting Their communications systems into weaponry, as seen in this image, They set out across the galaxy as an expeditionary force -- not mercenaries available for hire, but committed only to Their own unknowable objectives...

Multichannel Communication
When your landing craft is 2,722 ft (830m) tall and you decide to communicate with the Mothership, you don't use just one or two measly laser channels. You own the electromagnetic spectrum -- no point dying with photons still in your pocket!

"Look into my eye," he said...

Lightning over Lake Keowee
We were amazed to see an intense lightning storm -- fortunately at a healthy distance. Or perhaps it was Their landing craft -- I didn't see a base in the region, but that doesn't mean it doesn't exist :-)

"The Time Has Come," the Walrus Said
With a nod to Lewis Carroll, They appeared to me, in a new building in an ancient land at the edge of the sea. They say this is the beginning of the end; we agreed to disagree.

About this image: This is a composite of two photographs. The first was taken of the Milky Way over Davenport Beach, California (similar to the Phases of Matter photo I posted about a week ago). The second was taken at the Scavenger Meetup #tgsmu17 in Las Vegas, with Miki R. modeling as Dr. +Sassi Sassmannshausen created her wings of light using a Pixelstick.

There Can Be Only One
A festival of renewal occurs every 300 years or so in the Canopus Federacy, as a new Guidestar is born and the previous one is recycled. This cycle, They are celebrating Their recent expansion towards the Galactic Core, a marvelous new Gravity Symphony composed by a group of breakaway AIs, and the arrival of a fresh batch of specimens from Earth and the nearby Spiral Arm.

Apparating Alien
As our explorers work out how they're going to get off this planet they've gotten themselves stranded on, a great alien beastie tries to work out how it can eat all of them at once ... ;oD
I've been creating a new compositing workshop bit by bit and updated my Screenflow software for all the tutorials I'm making. The best way to learn an update is to play with it, so I made a little Cinemagraph (https://photos.app.goo.gl/q8CZQEfMfVnNsEu88). I'll add it to the first comment in the comments area below -- see if you can point out all that's going on it ... ;o))).
