Shadows 1: First sighting by faroutsider

My corporeal form lives with my wonderful wife and six eccentric cats in beautiful Sedgefield, but my dreaming body is frequently elsewhere, exploring the fractal universe and marveling at nature's chaos. I love traveling to places that exist only as mathematical constructs on my computer and bringing back snapshots that sometimes remind me of the real world (whatever that means), sometimes of metamagical worlds we can visit only in our imaginations. I trained as a biologist and run a small company specialising in science publishing - writing, editing, illustrating and typesetting. For 3D world building I use Vue, Daz Studio and Poser, but I've also used Bryce since version 2 and done some work with Terragen, Carrara and Groboto. For technical illustration I use mainly Illustrator and Photoshop.
Thanks for visiting my little corner of Renderosity, and to everyone who has kindly commented on my images or added my works as a favourite, thank you for that too. Craig.

I like very much this "suspended" (in the clouds) and futuristic atmosphere....What is happening? In what planet we are? This is all well expressed by the "flou" image...

Oh yes, my friend. I'm here! :) I've been watching for a trans-dimensional disturbance, knowing you had a break in your temporal matrix. Let's see ... .......... Macali quickly scanned the structure with her visual, olfactory and auditory receptors, but did not receive any information she deemed useful. Not that she ever did. It sometimes mystified her that she even bothered. She engaged the smallest tip of her trans-dimensional sensors. The micro-second her trans-dimensional probe detected a presence, she began to receive a message. Damn! She had never encountered any entity but members of her own race who could do anything but dimly sense a trans-dimensional probe. The message was not Opae. These were not her people. What in the name of the Nine-fold Matrix had she opened herself up to? Communication Received We Are Here Request Open Portal Assignment Follows Assignment follows? Macali shut down her probe immediately. It had not been her intent to communicate, only to scan. From time to time she had come across a civilization who knew something was out there, and twice she had encountered beings who went on high alert when her trans-dimensional probe was active, but she never expected anyone to become aware of her and certainly not to be able to communicate transdimensionally! Macali quickly set up a discreet subroutine that would trap a trans-dimensional communication. It was a simple enough thing, and one any Opae could have done just as well. Once it was done, she opened the single-input channel and allowed the message to filter through.

3 days ago at dusk, there was a ginormous 'plane?' circling the area. It was unlink anything I had ever seen. It was sort of triangular & had 10 extremely bright head lights in front & when it passed over, it had a mess of green lights on its underside. It was almost frightening to see it pass so closely & low as the lights were so blinding. I actually ducked the first time. (I was standing on my porch) Then I went & got my binoculars. It was wicked cool! So alien looking. Now, mind you, I live right next to the largest marine base in the world & get to see some amazing things, & it was pretty much circling above the base, I figured it was 'friendly' since it dodn't shoot at me. Lol! Cool render. Another story? Mine is real, btw. ;)
