Wrong Turn Halfway Past Arcturus

Description


"He was part of my dream, of course - but then I was part of his dream, too." - - Lewis Carroll

~ ~

"For some years, Captain Jack made good money as a tour guide, promising his passengers a journey through the Ultimate Reality of Life, Time, and the Cosmos as a whole. However, he forgot that there is no such thing and had to give the business up when all his customers went mad!"

("Reality is merely an illusion, albeit a very persistent one." -- Albert Einstein)

* * *

Inspiration for this bit of fantasy was viewing too much YouTube earlier today! There are things on there that make you feel like these people on the boat! Or, like the song... "Always, no, sometimes think its me; but you know, I know when it's a dream. I think, er, no, I mean, er, yes, but it's all wrong! That is, I think I disagree.." (Strawberry Fields Forever)

Just a fun excursion to the Outer Limits, hope you will enjoy it. dd, of course.

Thank you all so much for your comments on my Strangeness of the Week! ??? These are fun to do. The idea is, to open up a specific folder, then pick images from only what is there. So in this case, they come together as I go along and I never really know where things are headed 'til I'm done. Sometimes strange, and sometimes VERY strange! LOL. Thanks again! #6075497
