Controlled fires on the moors above Glossop. It looked like the hills had gone all volcanic and were erupting.
These fires are part of the management of the moors. They burn a little at a time, putting it out with beaters each time.
Plains, Georgia
I thought I would bring up a few of my many Plains, Ga shots. This small town will be getting some attention in the coming days.
Rest in peace, President Carter

I must thank 'Normanbongo' for giving me the GPS co-ordinates of this lovely spot. Like General McArthur, I shall return!

The severe extremes of weather that pound the High Plains of Western Nebraska are hard for any exposed structure
The weird part about this photo is that less than 30 minutes later the clouds all disappeared!

Zebras have legs that are long and slender but very strong, enabling the zebra to run up to 40 miles per hour to escape predators. In addition, the zebra is nimble enough to evade predators or to kick them at close range. In fact, the zebra can use its hooves to deliver a kick capable of injuring or even killing an animal as large as a lion.
Constantly on the watch for lions and hyenas, a herd helps with all of its extra eyes to monitor for danger. If a zebra is attacked, other zebras come to its defense and form a circle around it to ward off the predator. ... Zebras are often found mingling with other animals, adding extra protection against threats.
Captured and released. Used 5 lights in studio to get this shot. It was very cooperative while I moved the camera around and nudged him into position. Had to coax him into sticking his tongue out. Nerodia erythrogaster
It’s an end to a great second day on the Montana Rail Link, unfortunately my father and I ended up in Paradise after following the 10th Sub and eventually Plains in hopes of finding the gas train, we were unsuccessful. After much despair, I decided to take some shots of the Northern Pacific Searchlight Cantilever’s, all is calm as we’re looking east towards the Flathead River Valley on the MRL 4th Sub. The looming BNSF takeover at this time was only under a week away, something that still hurts to hear about of our beloved Montana Rail Link. Taken: 12-23-23
One last 3-shot panorama from the car on the way out of a wonderful experience on the Carrizo Plain!

What I believe to be a Plains Clubtail dragonfly from back in late May at Mill Pond. A new one for my Mill Pond odonata images.

The Plains Lubber is an attractive grasshopper when encountered on the open prairie. Not the hopper with the greatest maximum length but certainly the heaviest.

One of Australia's rarest & most quirky birds - the Critically Endangered Plains-wanderer. These tiny birds measure only 15-19cm tall, with the female (pictured) being noticeably larger than the male.
Plains-wanderers inhabit fields that consist of short native grasses. Unfortunately much of their habitat has been decimated by farming activities. Thankfully there are still a couple of pockets of National Park in the Patho Plains region that are suitable for this species.
I love wandering these grasslands in the middle of the night in the hopes of spotting one of these incredible birds in our headlamp beams. Particularly in the cooler months, when the sun sets much earlier & the nights are longer. The only downside being the cold temperatures & potential for slippery, muddy dirt roads into the area!
On this particular night, we were greeted with a low lying mist that made our pursuit even more challenging The mist reduced visibility & made the grasses damp & after a couple of hours we were soaked right through. However such inconveniences are soon forgotten when you actually stumble across one of these beauties!
To create this image, the main source of light was by torch from behind the bird, which created the leading shadow across the red dirt & caught the water droplets on the grass. A little fill flash was then used to illuminate the bird.
