"Dangerous? Poor old Waldman. Have you never wanted to do anything that was dangerous? Where should we be if no one tried to find out what lies beyond? Have your never wanted to look beyond the clouds and the stars, or to know what causes the trees to bud? And what changes the darkness into light? But if you talk like that, people call you crazy. Well, if I could discover just one of these things, what eternity is, for example, I wouldn't care if they did think I was crazy."

Henry Frankenstein

"From that fateful day when stinking bits of slime first crawled from the sea and shouted to the cold stars, "I am man," our greatest dread has always been the knowledge of our mortality. But tonight, we shall hurl the gauntlet of science into the frightful face of death itself. Tonight, we shall ascend into the heavens. We shall mock the earthquake. We shall command the thunders, and penetrate into the very womb of impervious nature herself.

Dr. Frederick Frankenstein

I remember you had Nikon D80 and now I see you with D40, which is smaller, cheaper but newer. Do you like it, sure you take awesome pictures, but was just curious. Obviously is the photographer's talent not the equipment

@Persian King: I don't know if I buy the talent of the photography thing 100%. There are some things you just can't do with some equipment and sometimes with a better camera getting what you want is just so much easier. I got the D40 to carry around with me figuring if it got stolen I wouldn't be out so much. It lacks some of the control and functionality but I have still found it to be a very good camera and I like it quite a bit. It's also nice to be able to go out taking photos with a 300mm lens on the D80 and the 18-55mm kit lens on the D40 --allowing me to take whatever I want without having to change lenses.

Observing from Chester, United Kingdom

Wow.. they are very powerful quotes, very thought provoking. I also like this image, it's unique, and very other-worldly with its finish. I recognise this as the MK II version of the wormhole transporter, NASA also has one but won't admit it.

@Observing: Of course they're not going to admit it, the wormhole transporter is the best black ops portal the alphabet agencies have.

Outstanding image ... heightened by those interesting quotes ... love the processing ... very cool!

@Ron: Thanks. The more I take and process the more I sort of intuit what it is I want in a particular image.

MadScientist from Düsseldorf, Germany

These Frankenstein quotes match perfectly! I had that association just before reading the text.
(Now I have to go into my own laboratory and hack some godless code. There's a reason they call me 'mad Scientist'. Muahahahaha!!)

@MadScientist: I have that same laugh.

Rian from Brooklyn, United States

Nice shot & descriptions that go with it. I find them all to be very interesting & informative (mainly so, because they seem like the first time I've heard of them). You're posts are very fun to read. :)

@Rian: Thank you.

Daroru from Amagasaki, Japan

Looks like you caught 3 Daleks naked (check Wikipedia....)

@Daroru: Your comment reminds me of a joke that's in the movie Prairie Home Companion.

Two penguins are on an iceberg.
Penguin #1 says to penguin #2: "You look like you're wearing a tuxedo."
Penguin #2 says: "What makes you think I'm not."
