Good capture Dave, I can really see a huge anaconda, even the head shape is correct. :)

Amazing what we see in nature at time - or we think we see

Did any of you actually notice the crocodile?

Good one Dave. This must be close to Loch Ness   ;D

Elsa is right, there is a crocodile with a green eye!

It's amazing what a little imagination can dream up, including the Loch Ness "monster". And I hadn't noticed the croc until Elsa pointed it out - it's obviously waiting for the anaconda to stick its head just a little further forward . . .

Great light. Old Buddhist analogy of how perception works illustrated.

It is the gift of the photographer to find liight and to create somethinng permanent of the fluctuation.

I completely agree. I am very old-fashioned about these matters and still take the name literally -  "photo-graphy" = "painting with light".
