That gas station, you know, the one in that big empty stretch between Beatty and Goldfield, Nevada. Late at night, lit with red flashlight under the full moon.
Here is a great eggfly (Hypolimnas bolina), in some places known as the blue moon butterfly because of the markings on the other side of the wings.
In case you want to know where the "eggfly" name has its origin, have a look here: www.flickr.com/photos/tinyturtle/53347135973/
Photo taken on an early April visit to the Haga Ocean butterfly house in Solna, Sweden in 2023.
Walking through a wood, I heard a loud, deep roar, and thinking it a bear for a moment, realised it was the the rutting season. When I went to see for myself, disturbed 2 stags and this female together in a mud filled corner of the field - I felt like a real mood killer!
I shot this frame last winter on Kodak Tri-X with a Chinon camera that I had saved from getting crushed into pieces in a waste skip.
The camera worked excellently and a lens it had on it wasn’t a bad performer either.

Chinon CX
Auto Chinon 55mm f/1.7
Kodak Tri-X 400
Scanned with:
Canon EOS 6D
Leica APO-Macro-Elmarit-R 100mm f/2.8

Candid street photography taken in Glasgow, Scotland. This was captured at the Anti-Austerity Rally in George Square, Glasgow. Given a tight crop and slight twist to keep the framing tight on the sloping sides of the monument and to keep the background sky out of the frame. Enjoy full screen goodness by pressing 'L'.
Okay, yeah, I started it, but when she called it a "meeting to discuss boundaries," I admit I felt a little wiggly. I flopped down, praying fervently no one would mention Robert's Rules of Order.
