@gemtumble Yep it really was absolutely huge and it was hard to choose whether to post this or another slightly different one but the same size as this.
Can't help it Hazel, but I feel a little bit sorry for it, stranded in the sand! But on the other hand, I would not like to come up against it swimming! It's a good shot of it anyway. Like its purple frill. You LIKE purple!
@tishpics Well it's true I do like purple. But Ray got stung by a jellyfish in Corsica some years ago and had a very bad infected thigh so that probably has a bearing!
Love the textures , the lines and colors in this wonderful pic.
I know an photo-artist that`s famous of her pic`s of (dead) jelly fish , captured on the beach. This could be one.
I think this is Rhizostoma pulmo. Its stinging powers are negligible and it's a beautiful creature! They grow up to 60cm in diameter. Enjoy the rest of your holiday. See you soon. J.

(I guess we all see beauty differently....)
