My Favorite Mermaid Encounter - And My First NSFW Post

“Just looking at each other is something really moving to me, more so than the nudity.”

For reasons I won't enumerate,

I find mermaids fascinating.

Some years ago, I encountered a lovely and moving work of mermaid art. Once in a while, I return to study it and to imagine that scene.

The mermaid just below is not it... Please scroll down.

This is a fine mermaid, though not my favorite...

I thought I'd share this encounter with you today.

The image portrays a very whimsical dream-like meeting between a deep sea diver and a mermaid.

The artwork is by Oliver Regueiro, entered into a contest in 2011, and subsequently echoed widely across the internet.

Today I'm posting a "fair-use," reduced size, cropped excerpt. I include full attribution to Oliver Regueiro, the artist, and direct links to his original posting.

At the time of this writing, there is still a substantially sized (2520 × 3581) version of this image available here, and Mr. Regueiro's contest entry page is linked to the image below. Be sure to check out the original, full-sized version if you can.

Because breasts are not generally acceptable in the workplace, I've tagged this post NSFW...

I find this image a remarkable study in contrast, surprise, and human interest. I hope you find the encounter as intriguing and thought provoking as I have.

Thank you, artist Oliver Regueiro.
