Whatever doesn't kill me...had better start running

The title of the blog is a rather funny quote I found from the novel ' City of  Glass' from the Mortal Instruments series - definitely check it out!

Looking forward to the cool change, after today being 40 degrees! :D Cold weather is my forte

What can we talk about today?

Naah, to hot to talk about anything. Instead, let's look at two wonderful pieces.

Here is Star kingdom planet by arsenixc

So much detail in this picture! Imagine our cities in the fitire, looking like that! Who knows, it may come to pass. The only thing I don't like about this picture is the colour scheme. But the artists knows best, not some peasant like me XD

And here is Engie's nightmare by alexiuss

I love it! The colours are really good at conveying a moody, grim scene. The image just looks so cooool XD Reminds me a tad of Metro 2033, the game involving post-apocalyptic Russia.

So many talented people out there!

Healthy

Don't worry, I am still alive and healthy
Oh, I know you wish I wasn't! :D

Good ol' Melbourne, very cold morning, then a very warm afternoon. Why do you do this to me? :(

So, what is happening. Hm.

Hot nights makes it harder to sleep :( And you know it, I love my sleep, oh yes I do.

I'll be baking cake in 3 days! Excited :D Another cooking experience for Chef DisaFear :D

Today's magnificent piece is Machinery of the Stars by alexiuss

Such beauty. The city is absolutely perfect, the pinpricks of light being emitted are masterfully crafted. The being pondering the heavens is perfectly placed. The gears are just pure professional'ness :D For me, the image shows the inner workings of the sky, that only this brave soul can see, as the rest of the city sleeps on, unaware of the beauty of nature.
Yes, I'm partially crazy :D

Stellar Blob

Before taking up Astronomy as a subject at Uni, I never knew that it was possible to view parts of the Milky Way Galaxy with the naked eye.

As with most other city people, our skies don't show much other than the random star here and there, like splatterings of ink across the night sky.

But then, Astro came along, and showed me sights like this.

Appreciate the heavenly beauty that is Veibrink vs The Milky Way by torivarn

That is just spectacular. One day, I need to view this for myself. Amazing.

Have you ever watched clouds move through the sky? So gentle and peaceful - one day, I'll have to gather around my friends, lay down in a field and watch the clouds ^_^ Maybe watch the stars too, the beautiful earrings that the sky wears when the cheeky Sun isn't watching XD

I never knew it was possible to see parts of the Milky Way from Earth, guess I'm a pure city-person. But if you Google it up, you can find plenty of pretty Milky Way pictures from Hawaii, and other fortunate places

Speaking of pretty skies...

 That sky in black bird by beyzayildirim77 is just perfect! The type of scenery that I'd love to see every night. The way the foreground is ominously black brings out the nebulas wonderfully; for me, the size and orientation of the bird, as well as colour, brings it out as the focal point of the image, even though it seems insignificant. Wonderful hues of red and orange, love it.

That bird is a really early bird :D

Highway Rolling

Sorry for people who aren't fond of space-related images, but they are so pretty! :3

May I present, Space Highway by Alienphysique

The scene is so mouth-watering. The colour range in the image is spectacular; I really love the reddish glow emanating from behind the planet. I can't imagine it in any other colour. The 'highway' is so detailed and cute too :3 And the stars are there in the background, ever-present but taken for granted. This image is enough to send shivers; who knows if the future will look as pretty as this?

Or will it...?
