This is truly a wonderful and unique image filled with wonder.

It will remain in my memory.

Today, 22 May 2021, it took its place as a portion of the illustration of the Southern Screamer article in Opus.

Thank you for sharing this so that others will have the opportunity to gaze upon it.

Your generosity is appreciated!
