About this image
The Seagull nebula, seen in this infrared mosaic from NASA's Wide-field Infrared Survey Explorer, or WISE, draws its common name from it resemblance to a gull in flight. But it depends on your point of view. When the image is rotated 180 degrees it bears a passing resemblance to a galloping lizard -- or perhaps a dragon or a dinosaur. The image spans an area about seven times as wide as the full moon, and three times as high (3.55 by 1.37 degrees), straddling the border between the constellations Monoceros and Canis Major (the Big Dog). So you might say this lizard is running with the Big Dog, while the gull is flying from it.

What my clients say
We purchased two wonderful photos from Adam. One a framed black and white of The Bean in Chicago. And, the other of an iconic road in Door County on metal. The process was painless and Adam checked in with us to make sure everything was going well. We will be looking at his work in the future for both the quality of his craftmanship and the professional way he handled the purchase and shipping of our purchase.
From the time of purchase Adam kept me up to date on the status of my order. The frame I originally wanted was on back order, but he was able to help me choose a similar frame. The print and frame are beautiful! I would recommend his company.
Excellent service and a variety of materials. Varying prices, tailored to different needs. Overall, good taste. Extensive experience in this sector.
