Running the Vortex

In the Tarantula Nebula,there is a planet just outside the orbit of the gas giant “Talon”.The planet is known by surfers across the Galaxy as “Surfer-girl’s Dream” discovered by a young lady who surfed it alone for many years before opening it up to other surfers.When Talon rises the tides are huge, waves have being measured exceeding 120 meters,a long pipe run can last for up to 5 hours,so pack a lunch.

Here we see the lady herself surfing what she named the “Vortex”.

Running the Vortex belongs to the following groups:

Alien Worlds/Landscapes, Altered by Design, Beach Art, Fantasy Art, Parallel Dimensions, PixElations - The Art of Photoshop, Sci Fi , Seachanges, Surfing, The Art of 3D and Waves

    Well Vansk,you really have to see the waves on “Ever’s Pipe” to know their beauty.

    Very cool. Imagine the tides and the waves you would get with Talon’s talons tugging away…120 metres high, never mind the length :)

    1987 must have been an interesting year in the Tarantula Nebula…
    Wonderful creation, David.

    The Vortex was always interesting anytime.

  • Peter Daalder

    Peter Daalder, about 1 year ago

    Yes, but The Vortex would have been even more interesting in 1987…

    So I guess this could have been this surfers last ride,nothing like going out on the perfect wave.

    I see the use of the smudge and some of the other things you have done to create this. And I didn’t feel less because you did not tell me so. This is the exact “magic” I meant. This is great!
