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.
"like a mile of elephants—grey hills all about the same size with almost white sand at their feet" —Georgia O'Keeffe
I went out to Alviso for a walk about and shoot a few years ago and they had the parking lot and some of the trails blocked off. One of them by this monster. Seeing it in near silhouette made me think of a sleeping giant, waiting for its people to come back and help it feed on whatever earth its moving.
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
Faisant un peu plus de 14 000 tonnes, le G874 passe sur la voie sud le B730 de 27 155 tonnes, qui est sur la voie de marchandise, en plein ravitaillement de carburant pour le chemin qu'il lui reste à faire vers Moncton. Alors que le B730 est uniquement tiré par des engins AC de nouvelle génération, le G874 est quant à lui "leadé" par une C44-9WL, locomotive modifié pour répondre aux demandes de sécurité et confort des équipes il y a de ça plus de 31 ans.
Weighing just over 14,000 tons, the G874 passes on the south track the 27,155-ton B730, which is on the freight track refueling for the remaining journey to Moncton. While the B730 is pulled solely by new-generation AC engines, the G874 is led by a C44-9WL, a locomotive modified to meet crew security and comfort requirements of over 31 years ago.
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.
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.
When you discover after checking your shot on the computer that the cloud’s looking like a fiction’s dragon ‘Behemoth’, reinforced by the surrounding lightnings…
