Homepage of the photographer who made this, lots of other very nice astrophotography on his site.
Grotesque is also amazing, right ?
Billy Owen says he started seeing things in a new light back in February, 2009.
Losing your entire right eyeball will do that to you.
Back then, Owen was a successful motorcycle mechanic with a loving wife and a six-month old son. But nagging sinus issues changed his life.
"I had headaches and I couldn't breathe because my right nostril was totally plugged," he told The Huffington Post. "Doctors gave me decongestants thinking it was sinusitis, but my wife finally pushed me to see a specialist."
On Feb. 13, 2009, the doctor gave him the news: He had sinonasal undifferentiated carcinoma (SNUC), a rare form of cancer affecting the nasal cavity that had only a 10 percent survival rate.
"Most of the survivors have tumors removed at the early stage," Owen said, but, in his case, the cancer has spread so extensively that doctors had to remove half his face, including his right eyes, the muscles and nerves.
"I have very little sense of smell left," he admitted. "If it's a real strong smell, I can pick it up."
Now there's a giant hole where Owen's right eye used to be. When he removes a dental plate, he can stick his finger in that eye and have it come out his mouth.
Pretty amazing. What is the white in his eye socket? Is it his scull?
Looks like half an eggshell in there.
Hopefully this one is OK.

The answer is Africa apparently, Wikipedia reports that it is a Spiny Flower Mantis
The photo.net page of the photog has some nice nightmare inducing pics for those of us who don't like things with 0 legs (unless they live in water) or with more than 4!
