Underwater has so much a realm-of-dreams quality to it, doesn't it? From yours truly, an artwork that makes me think I should seriously get back into upping my skill, it came out so well: "Mermaid in swirling kelp forest".

inspired by:

• the great kelp forests of the pacific coast https://www.montereybayaquarium.org/animals-the-ocean/ecosystems/kelp-forest
• the pillars of creation in the eagle nebula https://chandra.si.edu/deadstar/pillars.html
• the goblin desire to incinerate things with my mind 🐙🌌⚡️

#FotoVorschlag: Dem Boden ganz nah // Very close to the ground

Damit diese #Braunalge dem Meeresboden ganz nah ist, bildet sie so eine komische Knolle, mit der sie sich an Felsen verankert. Diese schnell wachsende, einjährige Algenart kann bis zu 4 m lang werden und wächst in Tiefen bis 35 m. Im Herbst ist Feierabend, und oft wird die Knolle dann wie hier an den #Strand geschwemmt.

This #brownAlgae stays close to the seabed with the help of its warty, bulbous #holdfast that attaches to rocks. A fast growing, annual #seaweed, it can reach up to 4 metres in length and is found at depths of up to 35 metres. In autumn, it begins fruiting and starts to decay, with the #bulb often washing up on the #shore.

I wonder how many divers have ever seen...or thought they saw...a silhouette like this amid the swaying leaves...

My own rendition of such a vibe, "Mermaid in swirling kelp forest".
