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.
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.
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.

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
My first large ship (followed by the Silent Mary). This one is even more massive but I find it lacking of some important techniques that I used on the later model. This ship has a large crew, and is inspired by Man-of-War galleons from the 1700s. I was not able to give it sails as the masts would topple, but this allows for more of the ship to be visible. By size it is my largest build to date.
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.
Revisiting a shot from our 2017 trip to South Africa. This was taken at Elephant Whispers in Hazeyview, South Africa near Kruger Park. This is rescue preserve, and the animals are around humans from a very young age, which lets me get this close (with a telephoto lens) safely.

Weighing in at 122,000 tons, with a draught of 27 feet and a cruising speed of 24 knots the Celebrity Equinox is certainly deserving of the title Behemoth.
However, even with her grand size she certainly isn't the biggest boat on the block. Some of the newest MegaShips come in at tonnage of 228,081 GT, almost double the weight and capacity!
There were approximately 1000 passengers on board when we were there. The newest MegaShips carry up to 5500 passengers along with 2700 crew, more people than some small towns in America or anywhere for that matter!
Yep, I know this isn't as sharp as it should be. More than likely I had the back button focus set for a single point instead of multiple points. I need to remember to do that, especially with the 50mm. Yeah, probably not.
