It was photoshopped. You can tell by the pixels around the 'craft'.

Regarding this photo:

"The red side, here for example, shows a layer of the sun's surface in which material burns at about 140,000 degrees Fahrenheit. The blue side shows plasma burning in the sun's extended atmosphere, or corona, at 1.8 million degrees Fahrenheit."

Regarding this photo:
This photo of an albatross chicks was taken in September 2009 on Midway Atoll, a tiny stretch of sand and coral near the middle of the North Pacific. To document this phenomenon as faithfully as possible, not a single piece of plastic in this photograph was moved, placed, manipulated, arranged or altered in any way. This image depicts the actual stomach contents of baby birds in one of the world’s most remote marine sanctuaries, more than 2,000 miles from the nearest continent.

hence the.......not chinese

inscrutable? - there's ghosts coming out of the wall panels !
- but then on inspection - or 'scrutinisation'.....the samurai would appear to be ghosts themselves.

The Samurai is the only living thing in the image.
The print depicts a samurai fighting snakes, which are conjured by a ghost as the ghosts of Heian court ladies watch. Japan, 1850.
I figured with Halloween right around the corner that I should get in the spirit, and what better way to begin, than with spirits' haunting?
