Welcome to my Images & Words for this week.
I promised in my comments for Picture Perfect to Show the Original photo from my movie title post 20,000 Leagues under the sea. So what I have done is used the original photo in this weeks I&W. The photo was taken one day as the giant squid fashioned from recycled materials was at the local panel beaters for a small fix. I asked the artist who is a friend, if he minded me taking some photos of the beast. Then the panel beater also a friend got in on the act and laid down under the Squid and hey presto my photo was born. So much fun and might I say this artist has buckets full of creative energy and is a master at his art.
So there you have it a bit of Photobucket editing and my monster from the deep was reborn.

Hi Peter, in the movie they refer to the beast as a giant squid, hence me calling it the same.
ReplyDeleteThere is not a huge difference between these two marine species, read below, although the artist does actually call this one an Octopus.
Octopuses and squids move by "jet propulsion", sucking water into a muscular sac in the mantle cavity surrounding their bodies and quickly expelling it out a narrow siphon.
Both octopuses and squids are related to snails and other mollusc's. Unlike snails, octopuses no longer have any remnant of a shell. Squids possess a stiff structure known as a pen, that acts as a flexible backbone.
Both squids and octopuses have blue blood! Their blood is this colour because they use an oxygen-carrying molecule in their blood that contains copper.
Octopuses and squids have hard, parrot-like beaks. These are excellent for killing, and tearing pieces of flesh from their prey.
Octopuses live in dens on the sea floor. Squids live in the open oceans.
Octopuses use their eight sucker-lined arms to capture their prey and move about on the ocean floor. Squids have eight arms lined with suckers and two specialized tentacles that they use to reach out and capture prey.
Octopuses eat bottom-dwelling crustaceans. Squids eat fishes and shrimps. Some deep water squids may be scavengers.
Octopuses pierce the shells of their prey, injecting poison that causes paralysis. They then release salivary enzymes, loosening the meat from the inner shell. Squids use their two specialized tentacles to quickly reach out and capture fishes. They tear off bits of flesh and scrape the meat into their mouths with their beaks.
You're an amazing photographer..and I have to tell you..untouched, the pic is an absolute killer..
ReplyDeletehehe pun intended...
Wow - what a vivid orange colour! Wonderful shot. Love the beautiful and profound words.
