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.
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
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.
Drove around today with a friend and we decided to check out whats new at Canada's Wonderland. We were lucky enough to get into the site and snap some pics......(no jumping fences, just drove in)
This is the new rollercoaster thats being built for this year. A very cool experience.
Oasis of the Seas is an Oasis-class cruise ship, delivered to her owner, Royal Caribbean, in 2009. The first of her class, she was joined by her sister ship, Allure of the Seas, in 2010. She set a new record of carrying over 6,000 passengers.
She was the largest cruise ship in the world, until surpassed by Allure of the Seas, which is 50 millimetres (2.0 in) longer, although this difference may have been caused by different temperatures when the measurements were made!
A gentle sprinkle of drizzle over night works on the Myer construction site in Murray Street, Hobart, Tasmania.

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.
