When Mars Still Had Canals (Mod Photo VI)

[Caveat:  The image of a canal-ridden Mars used here is not taken from any authentic source, whether drawn by Schiaparelli (the first astronomer to detect the canals of Mars) or by others after him;  it's just a random old texture I had in a 'storage folder';  when I started fiddling with it I was actually going for something completely different, but then the image took an unexpected turn of its own, as often happens]

As Above, So Below

While perusing NASA's astronomy photo website I came across this photo of the Cocoon Nebula (aka IC5146). Looks like a lump of hot coal rolling across a dusty floor.  Not that it means anything (except maybe that I compulsively draw parallels between all sorts of unlikely things), but it reminded me of this cloud photo I took last year.  Just sayin'.
