I often use on1 software to add enhancements to my photographs. I submitted an edit of an image they provided to the on1 Photo Remix Challenge. I recently read a lovely book, Remarkably Bright Creatures by Shelby van Pelt. That book inspired me to add an AI octopus to my edit. This was fun to create.

Back in January of 2014 I created this composite using my images. It is based on a recurring dream that I’ve had. I found out later that this concept of a world held up by elephants or on the back of a turtle has been around for an exceedingly long time. The World Turtle, also called the Cosmic Turtle or the World-bearing Turtle, is a giant turtle (or tortoise) supporting the world. It occurs in Hindu mythology, Chinese mythology, and the mythologies of some of the indigenous peoples of the Americas. This year I have been reading the engrossing and funny Discworld series by Terry Pratchett. His satire and humor remind me of Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy by Douglas Adams. Pratchett describes his flat Discworld as being supported like this. In my dream it is a round world.
