Lair of the Sea Serpent, Elihu Vedder

going back to work tomorrow after vacation.

Some kind of potency in this, I was thinking that the sea serpent is clearly huge, but the wide expanse of sand and sea puts the whole thing in perspective, the sea serpent is humbled. and near to the ground. More dangerous because it's real. Why isn't it in the sea? hurt, dying? or it soaks up the sun?

The sea serpent!
A creature of which examples can be found all over the world, like Scylla, Jörmungandr, or Tiamat, the sea serpent is usually a giant at large among the waves, able to grip and destroy any boat or ship like it's nothing.

First page of a 1924 article in 'Wide World Magazine' on an old perennial of #cryptozoology. 'Wide World' came from the same publishers as 'The Strand', George Newnes, and in 1942 Pound was appointed its (final) editor. #seaserpent #cryptid #legends #Fortean #Foteana

A certain classic #inflatable #seaserpent for @XydexxUnicorn It'll probably attract tourists instead of scaring them away, though, it's way too cuddly-looking.

"There's a snake on the western wave,
And his crest is red.
He's as long as a city street,
And he eats the dead.
There's a hole in the bottom of the sea
Where the snake goes down.
And he waits in the bottom of the sea
For the men that drown...."
- Vachel Lindsay, "The Sea Serpent Chantey"

I still love this painting. A bit looser than I normally go for on finish, but there's something about this blue sea monster that I'm very fond of. #seamonster #creature #seacreature #seaserpent
