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.
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.
One of the Bully Boys of the bayou.
This is my offering for today and I think this is just about as wild as they come. This is one of the bayou behemoths that I encountered on my return trip to the bayou. I was also on the water at the same time the Bayou Ranger was out, but I think they may have departed before all of the big boys came out to gather up a bit of sun later in the day. The day started off overcast and gray because of the remnants of a sand storm blown in from who knows where and a lot of cloud cover. The clouds had dissipated a bit by the time I left and almost all of the big boys were on station to check everything out and claim their place on the banks of Horsepen Bayou…none in Alligator Alley. I’m not one for exaggerating so I’m just going to say that this guy (and they are all guys when they get this large) is 12 feet plus. Likely 13 feet and quite massive. With that being said, he is not the biggest male on the bayou but still very intimidating. Still captured with the RX10 Mk IV with the 1” sensor.

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
Actually, I do happen to resemble a hallucination. Kindly note my silhouette in the moonlight." The cat climbed into the shaft of moonlight and wanted to keep talking but was asked to be quiet. "Very well, I shall be silent" he replied, "I shall be a silent hallucination"
Mikhail Bulgakov, The Master and Margarita
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 lentiuclar-orographic behemoth has been hanging over the valley for several hours this afternoon. We have had five consecutive days and nights of horrendous wind blowing a constant 20-30 mph with gusts over 50 and few gusts near hurricane force. Today, so far, this formation is a result.
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.
