These two giant contrasting trees on the grounds at Skylands, New Jersey, seemed the perfect pair for a Spring day blessed with both sunshine and huge storm clouds at once.
SOOC photo of the skyscraper "The Shard" ( on the left) and a reflection in glass of 20 Fenchurch Street a.k.a the Walkie Talkie (on the right). Added some contrasts and texture so that the clouds stand out more.
"The Shard (opened in 2012) is another of London’s most famous skyscrapers. Renzo Piano, its designer, is said to have been inspired by London’s railway lines when building this 72 floor behemoth"
Opened in 2014, the 34-floor building (Walkie-Talkie) was designed by Uruguayan architect Rafael Viñoly

My second Convolvulus hawk-moth of the Summer. This one was in a lot better shape than the previous one that Bella found out in the yard. I rescued it out of the polytunnel, attracted in by the Nicotiana flowers no doubt. It had such a powerful grip on my hand, I put it in the hedge for safety after the photo-shoot HWW & HBW!
Agrius convolvuli a large robust species that migrates each year from southern Europe carried on southerly winds. Prior to 1990 there were only a few records, but since then it has been reported more frequently. This may be due to a greater level of recording or a temporary phase of increased abundance. Is attracted to Bindweed & Nicotiana both of which we have in our garden.
thunderheads - yep, we're very high up from sea level in Joburg, almost 2km up. that's because of the plateau we are situated on, perhaps making sights like this more regular.
caught in a blaze of afternoon light...!! from our autumn
One of the Three Sisters as seen from the A82 running through the pass of Glencoe in Scotland. Just loved the brutal ruggedness of this peak.
There's no kill like overkill!
Please no debates about the practicality of such a monster. Thank you.
Done in PMG 0.6.
EDIT: N.b.: SJ Commander asked me for my permission to use the Behemoth in the Great War as a vehicle of his, and I have granted it.
More wonders and magical light at The Black Place...
Here, I've more closely adhered to O'Keeffe's narrow palette aesthetic - at least a bit, but also emphasized the deep contrasts found with this day's amazing light. I worked on this image over a series of days - this time from a single capture - striving to bring out the depth, and the interplay of color contrasts.
This is the third in my series of works depicting The Black Place.
"like a mile of elephants—grey hills all about the same size with almost white sand at their feet" —Georgia O'Keeffe
there were many climbers while we were in
Joshua Tree, it was daunting to watch them
dangling from ropes and hear their gasps
and grunts as they struggled up these
behemoths. One girl got so frightened
halfway up that she could not move and
had to be rescued ... I wonder if she ever
tried again?
Once a sovereign of flesh,
Now a scourge of blight.
It’s crown broken,
Disfigured into horns.
Wings that dream of flight,
Now bound to the earth.
For all who cherished it
Lie silent within its bones,
Their screams masked by sorrow.
This Bur Oak (Quercus macrocarpa) is not the largest bur oak in this 97-acre conservation park, but it's one of the larger ones. My current estimate of its diameter at the base is 10 feet (3 meters). I will revise this if I obtain a measurement. Oak savanna, Owen Conservation Park, Madison, Wisconsin, USA, May 26, 2025.

The Invaluable Darkness Tour - Part 2: Legions of The Chosen Few
Trip out to Fort Nelson Royal Armouries in Portsmouth.
18" Railway Howitzer. It'll do damage. No doubt.
Big guy, shot by a big guy, underneath a big gun. Awesome.
A spectacular trio of merging galaxies in the constellation Boötes takes center stage in this image from the NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope. These three galaxies are set on a collision course and will eventually merge into a single larger galaxy, distorting one another’s spiral structure through mutual gravitational interaction in the process. An unrelated foreground galaxy appears to float serenely near this scene, and the smudged shapes of much more distant galaxies are visible in the background.
This colliding trio – known to astronomers as SDSSCGB 10189 – is a relatively rare combination of three large star-forming galaxies lying within only 50,000 light-years of one another. While that might sound like a safe distance, for galaxies this makes them extremely close neighbors. Our own galactic neighbors are much further away; Andromeda, the nearest large galaxy to the Milky Way, is more than 2.5 million light-years away from Earth.
This image comes from an observation designed to help astronomers understand the origin of the largest, most massive galaxies in the universe. These galactic behemoths are called Brightest Cluster Galaxies (BCGs) and – as the name suggests – are defined as the brightest galaxies in any given galaxy cluster. Astronomers suspect that BCGs form through the merger of large, gas-rich galaxies like the ones seen here. They turned to Hubble’s Wide Field Camera 3 and Advanced Camera for Surveys to investigate this galactic trio in painstaking detail, hoping to shed light on the formation of the universe’s most massive galaxies.
