Scaliger Castle, Sirmione, Italy

try building it on land next time you stupid italians

Got bad news for you gyppa!  Examine the architecture.  It WAS built on land!  One of two things happened here, and possibly both at once.  1. The land subsided due to earthquake or any of several other natural phenomena.  2. The Sea level rose.  It has been doing that for quite some time now.

Hmmmm!!!! I got bad news for you, you little bitch. Italians cannot build castles it seems! Sorry but that’s just the truth.

@setepenre-set I don’t know exactly what this digital art piece is representing, but to me, it looks like a pool sanctuary-type area that perhaps the M’ega would have in their homes or yards. (Do they have yards… or property around their homes of some sort…?) Either way, it just feels very M’ega related. 🙂

Bioluminescence in the Gippsland Lakes

Noctiluca scintillans doing what it does best in the Gippsland Lakes, a small chain of inland lakes in Victoria, Australia.

The events that transpired to make this happen are quite miraculous; firstly there was widespread fires in Victoria that burned pretty intensely for quite some time. Then, they were followed by intense flooding that inundated many areas of Gippsland amongst others. The basic effect was that floodwaters carried nutrient-rich soil and ash from the higher reaches into the Gippsland basin, leading to a eutrophic condition in which algae and bacteria can thrive.

This gave rise to a particularly prolific cyanobacteria getting a foothold, Synechococcus. Essentiallysmothering the lake in cellular life, it gave an opportunity for some pretty special creatures to breed prolifically given an abundant food source – Noctiluca scintillans, a bioluminescent Dinoflagellate.

And so, you end up with photographs like this. A once-in-a-lifetime occurrence, captured for all to share.

Seeing this in person is one of the best experiences I’ve had since I moved.
