With K@ on the "this is absolutely beautiful"! But I would love to meet, not on a skin to tentacles basis, just so I could watch it floating in the sea. It must be an awesome sight to behold
I don't know if this is beautiful or quite freaky. Maybe just freakily beautiful? Esther My blog: Wie, Bitte?.

This is a call to everyone to please step outside the right vs. left paradigm. While there are important issues worth debating within this paradigm, all of them will be moot if we do not focus on a much greater issue outside this paradigm. Thomas Jefferson warned of wealth concentrating to such an extent that it threatened the state. Nowadays the media has taught us all very well to ridicule anyone who talks of central banks usurping the power of government. Well now I suppose the media will have to laugh at themselves, as many outlets from Newsweek to the Financial Times of London are openly discussing the creation of a "bank of the world" that will control economic policies of every nation. I invite you to watch this video, which details how this is currently taking place. While it focuses on our current officials' cooperation with these plans, it steps out of the typical political paradigm by highlighting the cooperation of both parties. The sequel to this video is now available as well, which fleshes out the ideas presented in the first video with more facts and expert opinion. Please do not look to politicians to protect us. Only we can protect us. And our first step must be to reach out to police and military. Without their cooperation, the global elite won't have the muscle to exercise their will of oppression. Please share this oath-keepers website with them. If you would like to learn more about the timely issues raised in these videos please visit this alternative news website, where these videos were produced.
I saw a few of these from an underwater viewing port on a trip over to Skye in Scotland a few years back. They weren't even that huge, but they have a very solid presence for a jellyfish and were super impressive!
Heading to Florida in a few weeks and praying that we don't encounter anything this size! Ouch, would that hurt.

With a cap that is 200 cm across and tentacles that can reach more than three meters, the lion's mane jellyfish is among the largest jellies on the planet. Their eight bundles of upwards of 100 stinging tentacles each (which retain their sting even if broken off into fragments), also make this jelly a true nuisance.
Of course, for our purposes, it also looks like a floating clump of viscera. In fact, I wouldn't be surprised if my omentum, or even most of my abdominal cavity, looks like a lion's mane jellyfish, sans stinging tentacles.
