A traveled to the top of a Volcano in Hawaii to capture this: Saturn briefly covered by the moon. One of the most difficult shots I’ve captured and a bucket list moment, this event gave me a new perspective on the solar system.
I’ll have it available in print for a short time.
None of us realised quite how much we needed a tuba solo version of Zombie Nation Kernkraft 400 in our lives…
Great moment from the @IbizaClassics_ tour, thanks to @mikethetuba 🔥

In 1992, as Hurricane Andrew approached South Florida, the Miami Zoo faced the daunting task of preparing for the impending disaster. Ron Magill, who served as the assistant curator at the time, had been through multiple hurricane threats over his 12-year tenure, with none of them materializing as forecasted. Despite his initial skepticism, Magill and his team worked tirelessly to ensure the safety of all the zoo's animals.
One remarkable decision involved relocating 30 flamingos to the zoo's bathroom. This choice was practical due to the bathroom's lack of windows, a tile floor for easy cleaning, ample space to create makeshift beds using hastily scattered hay, and, most importantly, a readily available supply of fresh water. Magill and his team opened all the stalls, filled the toilets with water, and embarked on the challenging mission of moving the flamingos.
The flamingos proved to be uncooperative, causing a commotion during the transfer. Magill recalls, "These flamingos are flapping everywhere, we're grabbing them, we're getting full of flamingo water and stuff." Despite the chaos, they successfully relocated the birds. As Magill was leaving the bathroom, he turned around for one last look and was struck by the scene before him.
"I thought, Who would have ever thought these flamingos would be next to urinals looking at themselves in the mirrors?'" recalls Magill, now the zoo's communications director. He grabbed his camera to take a picture, which would become one of the most iconic images from the historic storm.
@paramountplus is a THIEF.
can't get into my account and no # of calls, chats and messages have resolved my issue. NO ONE SEEMS TO WORK THERE. PLEASE HELP. WHY should I have to keep paying for something I can't even access?
Last nights moon was not only rare because it was a super flower blood moon, but also because of its positioning, right next to the core of the milky way. Here's an image I got of it!
