Julian Lennon - Saltwater 25 Years

Well, knock me down with a feather and call me Gladys.  Is it really 25 years since Julian Lennon released (probably his best known track) Saltwater?  The answer is no, since now we’re in 2017 it’s effectively 26 years which doesn't make me feel any the younger, for sure. That aside, Trunk Animation have come up with this beautiful video to accompany Lennon’s remix of the song and have just released it on Vimeo.  It was directed by Layla Atkinson and Jock Mooney with illustration by the latter.  Mooney's illustrations nod decidedly (and blissfully) in the general direction of Heinz Edelmann, art director on a film made by Julian’s dad who was also quite famous. The animation was done by Trunk’s Leslie Dart, Rok Predin, Simona Ciraolo and Layla Atkinson.

Jellyfish Lake

Over at our sibling site all about the wonders of nature, Ark in Space, there is an article about one of the stranger places on earth – Jellyfish Lake. Every day millions of golden jellyfish migrate – no big surprise there you might say.  However, you might not expect them to migrate horizontally across a lake.  Still, a visit to Jellyfish Lake on Eil Malk, an island in Palau, in the Pacific Ocean, will confirm just that.  Yet just how on earth did these jellyfish get to the lake in the first place?

So, if you are not too squeamish, why not head over to Ark in Space and take a look at this weird quirk of Mother Nature?
