Artist's Description
Far from the light of the nearest star, two species meet. One is the more familiar, known as homo sapiens – Man. The other? A new species never before seen. And this meeting will take place...in the Twilight Zone.
In pitch blackness, a craft approaches a collection of green and blue lights flashing in the distance. As it gets closer, the lights can be seen moving along comb-like structures on the dark form ahead. As it approaches, the glowing red body of a distinctly alien creature comes into view, and first contact is made with a new life form.
This was the scene in 1979, when Alvin, probably the most famous DSV (Deep Submergence Vehicle), first discovered the Bloody belly comb jelly in the ocean off the coast of San Diego, California, Although they appear bioluminescent, it's light show is actually caused by its iridescent rows of cilia refracting the little light that penetrates into the the area between 650 and 3,200 feet underwater known as the twilight zone.
About Darin Volpe
I have been photographing the things I see for over thirty years. A resident of San Luis Obispo County, I'm lucky to have many excellent photo destinations within a few minutes' or hours' drive. Beyond the local area, I have traveled throughout California and the western United States, visited far away American destinations such as Chicago, New York, Florida, and Alaska, and international destinations in Europe, Australia, and New Zealand. My photography varies from Architecture to Industrial Art to Nature to Wildlife and I'm sure you'll find something suitable for your home or office. Visit my blog
