We took a short trip this week to drive "The Avenue of the Giants" in Humboldt County, northern California. I laid flat on my back with the camera braced against my face to shoot this majestic grove of towering redwoods.

He was the Gentle Giant,
His voice was like soft thunder.
His Hands, strong enough to lift up the fallen,
Yet gentle enough to hold the smallest child.
He was the Gentle Giant,
His children were yours and mine.
He towered over them with great height,
And cast a shadow of deep love.
He was the Gentle Giant,
His face chiseled from stone,
His outward appearance intimidating,
But his heart was molded from pure gold.
He was the Gentle Giant,
And sometimes giants fall,
But in his wake he left
Waves of love to last for generations.

RIP George Floyd-You did not deserve this...
From what I'm reading, Valanga irregularis is the largest species of grasshopper in the world. Identification for this specimen is confirmed by the rear tibia being the same colour as the rest of the leg and the tibial spines being orange to red with black tips.
These grasshoppers can be found in the northern regions of our country - in the States of Western Australia, Northern Territory, Queensland and extending down the east coast in to the mid to northern areas of New South Wales.
Around 80 mm in length.
Unfortunately, some detail lost on legs due to wide aperture, but tibial spines and colouration visible.

Mit 42 bis 46 cm der größte Eisvogel in Afrika, etwa so groß wie eine Elster. Er lebt an Flüssen und Gewässern mit günstigen Ansitzmöglichkeiten zur Jagd nach Fischen, Krebsen und Amphibien.
At 42 to 46 cm, it is the largest kingfisher in Africa, about the size of a magpie. It lives along rivers and bodies of water with favourable perching opportunities for hunting fish, crayfish and amphibians.
Giant Geyser is a cone-type geyser in the Upper Geyser Basin of Yellowstone National Park in Wyoming. I visited the park in mid-October 2017, and this geyser had most recently erupted on July 7th 2017. Eruption height is 250 feet. Here, it seems to just be blowing off a little steam.
Aldabran giant tortoise.
By counting the number of rings on the shell of a tortoise you can guess it's approximate age.
This uncommon bird managed to sound off while standing on top of a fence (on Friday) in a horse & cattle ranch in CR
a giant spindly tree I spotted while we zoomed on Highway 91A through Queensborough.
song - "All By Myself" Eric Carmen.
www.youtube.com/watch?v=iN9CjAfo5n0
All by Myself" is a song by American singer-songwriter Eric Carmen released in 1975. The verse is based on the second movement (Adagio sostenuto) of Sergei Rachmaninoff's circa 1900–1901 Piano Concerto No. 2 in C minor, Opus 18. The chorus was taken from the song "Let's Pretend", which Carmen wrote and recorded with the Raspberries in 1972.[ The slide guitar solo was performed by studio guitarist Hugh McCracken.
Yesterday while I knew this land I came across a giant that also had the same idea.
The giant is not editing.

Zombitse-Vohibasia National Park, Madagascar
The Couas (of which there are 9 species currently recognised) are a Madagascan endemic genus related to the cuckoos. This Giant Coua is an attractive ground dwelling, pheasant-sized bird but, in the short time we had, I was unable to get a clear view through the undergrowth, so I have blended two shots to create this image.
These two giant rubber ducks are to be displayed near the seaside of Tamar Park (in Admiralty, Hong Kong) from 10-June-2023 for two weeks.

Blue hour at the 'Giant Swing' in Bangkok.
Wikipedia: The Giant Swing is a religious structure in Bangkok, Thailand. Located in front of Wat Suthat, it was formerly used in an old Brahmin ceremony, and is one of Bangkok's tourist attractions. An annual swinging ceremony known as Triyampavai-Tripavai was held at Giant Swings of major cities until 1935, when it was abolished for safety reasons.
The Giant Swing was constructed in 1784 in front of the Devasathan shrine by King Rama I. During the reign of Rama II the swing ceremony was discontinued as the swing had become structurally damaged by lightning. In 1920 it was renovated and moved to its current location in order to make space for a gas plant. The ceremony was again performed until 1935, when it was discontinued after several fatal accidents.
