Far out! These are excellent, Magi.

Why, thank you very much, Barbary. I thought I'd give the competition a whack.

William Dotani Nov 8, 2009, 10:47am EST

Is it true Barbary is having a wallpaper print made out of the first one so she can wallpaper her kitchen? I guess people coming to her house do not say far out like they used to since she switched from serving coffee to serving The Evil Addiction.

I don't know if that is true, Bill. But I suspect she drinks banana smoothies, regardless of what she serves visiting Bills.

Oh, Magi, I love what you did. These are great.

Magi the magical poet is riding the wind again Nov 8, 2009, 5:30am EST

And thank you, too, Lynn. It took a lot of work but it was fun to get these effects.

William Dotani Nov 8, 2009, 10:44am EST

EH? This isn't natural?

lynn a. Nov 8, 2009, 10:50am EST

When growing up I always wished to meet the fairies. Of course, I never did, but still hold out hope of someday, somewhere....

Magi the magical poet is riding the wind again Nov 8, 2009, 4:50pm EST

Of course it is natural, Bill! I was referring to the work I put in making fermented banana smoothies to get the fair folk dancing.

Look for them when the moon is full, Lynn - but first drink a fermented banana smoothie on the rocks.

Marge H. Nov 8, 2009, 6:02pm EST

If Lynn drinks enough of those banana smoothies, her fairy wishes may come true.

Marge, then they will come true!

Thank you for entering The Surreal Circus Photoshopping Contest. Until I put all of the entries into a single article, you are SO featured!

Magi the magical poet is riding the wind again Nov 8, 2009, 5:30am EST

Great entries, Magi.

Magi the magical poet is riding the wind again Nov 8, 2009, 5:31am EST

Thank you, John ... this is something different to what I usually do,

William Dotani Nov 8, 2009, 10:40am EST

If you drink at least 3 pots of tea daily, you will be able to see in the same way as these photographs without the need of bifocals or 3D glasses, which should be worn after drinking a few pints of draft Guinness.

JOHN BECK Nov 8, 2009, 10:49am EST

But beware of my hard cider; you could see both with your eyes closed!

Magi the magical poet is riding the wind again Nov 8, 2009, 4:54pm EST

Bill, to hell with the three pots of The Evil Addiction. John, please pass me another glass of your hard cider.

Both images are inspiring.

Magi the magical poet is riding the wind again Nov 8, 2009, 5:32am EST

Thank you, Vicky. But don't get carried away and try to cross that bridge. LOL

William Dotani Nov 8, 2009, 10:43am EST

Magi, these photos I heard has inspired in Vicky the desire to make snow angels as she sits hoping for it to snow.

Magi the magical poet is riding the wind again Nov 8, 2009, 4:55pm EST

That's just so much cold gossip, Bill.

Great entries.

Magi the magical poet is riding the wind again Nov 8, 2009, 5:32am EST

Thank you, Aniko.

Aniko Nov 8, 2009, 1:32pm EST

I can't decide which one I like better. The burning pit wants to claim me, but then I look at the fairies and change my mind. :)

Ann M. (Site Scryer) Nov 8, 2009, 1:35pm EST

STEP BACK FROM THE BURNING PIT!

Aniko Nov 8, 2009, 2:02pm EST

:-)

That was one of my uncaffeinated comments.

Magi the magical poet is riding the wind again Nov 8, 2009, 5:00pm EST

Aniko, do listen to Ann! Let the fairies dance on that bridge. Now go and have a stiff black coffee.

Aniko Nov 8, 2009, 5:32pm EST

Yes, ma'am.

really REALLY love the bridge to hell creation! that's about as scary as the whole thing should get. i'm hoping that having never lied on my taxes will help me avoid that scenario...

Magi the magical poet is riding the wind again Nov 8, 2009, 5:33am EST

Nope, you're safe, Carolyn. Now go dance with the fairies in the garden.

I see you have received favorable comments on your two entries. I do like "Faeries in the Garden". Now that truly is surreal.....as for the "Bridge to the Burning Pits", like Carolyn, that is one scary image.

William Dotani Nov 8, 2009, 10:37am EST

The first one I did not see in any of your photographs, so I get the feeling this was taken during one of Magi's forays into Tasmania. The evidence is as plain as the devilish boots that the lady Faerie is wearing.

elizabeth e. Nov 8, 2009, 3:21pm EST

I have no clue as to where Magi wanders when I'm not in Oz, Bill....you could well be right, he could be hanging out with those devilish Tasmanian faeries.

Magi the magical poet is riding the wind again Nov 8, 2009, 4:36pm EST

Bob, thanks very much. Yes, people have been very kind.

Bill, the little people in Tasmania have grown into very big folk - due, no doubt to their pigging out on Vegemite.

I must say the first one is groovy and far out. The second is a problem because here in the land of ice and snow, where toes get very very cold, it is understood that Hell has frozen over with Mr. Beelzebub serving iced tea.
