UFO Landing

The night an Unidentified Flying Object landed. The parents were held spellbound, the frightened young daughter ran away and the teenage son whipped out his phone to video the close encounter. In this day and age, the aliens will be on YouTube faster than they can say “Take Me To Your Leader”.

The original picture was a scene I photographed of a family of beachcombers admiring the sunset. The boy was trying to capture the sun with his mobile phone. I changed the colours, curves and added a soft haze to the surroundings.

UFO Landing

Twilight Zone

There I was. Driving on a country road, and minding my own business. There were deserted plantations all around me and I was half-expecting a tumbleweed to roll onto the road. Instead, my fantasising was disrupted by what looked like two bodies ahead. Cue the Twilight Zone theme…

Flattened Folks

Flattened Folks

It turned out to be two flattened overalls minus the human content. Maybe the flesh was sucked out by some aliens. I got down to investigate and finally found some Indonesian grass cutters having lunch behind a bush. They sheepishly explained they were caught in a storm and are now drying out their overalls.

But in the middle of a road? Maybe they wanted the passing cars to iron it…
