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.
1966 Ford street legal GT 40 (for 40 inches tall) Mark III, one of only 7 built, and one of 3 RHD.
Enough of you saw Ford V. Ferrari to know the bones of the story. Enzo was having cash flow challenges and had approached Henry Ford II, to explore buyout options, and the deal was progressing until he realized that Ford had no intentions of giving him a lot of cash and still let him run the company in his own way, and the divorce (before the wedding) was very very acrimonious! Proud Ford met very Proud Enzo Ferrari, and Enzo was very verbally dismissive and arrogant about Ford matching his racing ability and record. Henry basically said, $$ no object, but we MUST beat Ferrari at the 24 hours of LeMans, the world's most prestigious (by far) endurance race. The winning Mark IIs ran the big 427 Nascar racing engine, but for this street version, the original 289 (detuned) was slipped back in. Still a potent engine, but much more street friendly!
In competition prep, Ford won at LeMans in 1966,67,68 and 69, proving it could take on the Europeans and win. Though from another perspective, Ford was, and still is a world wide behemoth, compared to Ferrari's small operation, making it much harder to say who was David and who Goliath........

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.

The Invaluable Darkness Tour - Part 2: Legions of The Chosen Few
Huntington Beach State Park, SC
On this day we are hiking along the quiet beach heading over to the jetty along Murrells Inlet in the early morning hoping to see some shorebirds. Along the way there are lots of these semiterrisestrial crabs, who have pretty darn good vision scooting for cover in their burrows well before we got close. Finally I was able to get a cooperative one who let me approach and get this image of it. Thinking it was equally interested in viewing this behemoth human and after several minutes of staring at one another we both carried on with our day. A nice distraction from birds for me.
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.
Shooting informal portraits with the behemoth Fujica G690 BLp. I missed focus a teensy weensy bit, I think. Cropped a bit because it's hard holding all that weight to properly frame the 16x9. :-) Way expired (1980s?) Tri-X220 professional. Devved in Microphen stock for 12 minutes. I have to figure out what's going on with the left edge of the frame. I think it's my neg holder. Scanned with a D-SLR on a Marron Carrel scan rig using a Beseler 135mm enlarger lens, macro bellows, and an Omega color head as a light source. Post production with Darktable.

Handheld close-up of a common grasshopper. Got lucky on this one. I dare you to look at it in larger size.
Almost no processing done on this one besides cropping and minor adjustments to the background.

Nikon D7100. Tamron 180mm Macro. 1/3200th @ f/10. ISO 1250. EV = 0.0. Hand held. No tubes, bellows, lens reversing ring, or other gizmos.
What I like about macro photography is that it can make the tiniest creature look like the tank of some invading alien army.
This common green shield bug, Palomena prasina, is around 10mm long. They can be very abundant but easy to overlook as they blend into their background so well.
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…
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.
Behemoth is a beast mentioned in Job 40:15–24. Suggested identities range from a mythological creature to an elephant, hippopotamus, rhinoceros, or buffalo. Some Young Earth creationists believe it to be a description of a dinosaur. Metaphorically, the name has come to be used for any extremely large or powerful entity.
One for ranged/artillery combat (formerly the gunship), one for hand-to-hand combat.
On the outside the structure looks the same but the interior was totally replaced. They're a lot more stable now, no more picking them up to move and blowing their shells up.
