A supercell with lowered wall-cloud passes over some farmland in Lawton, Oklahoma, on June 18th, 2025.⁠ ⁠ This was toward the end of a day following this storm passing through southern Oklahoma, which had a strong likelihood of producing a tornado. Although no tornado formed on this day, the storm exhibited a strong, persistent rotating updraft, and a wall cloud which could have easily transformed into one. Wall clouds form when warm, moist inflow is pulled upward into the storm’s updraft. As this warm air rises, it cools and condenses at a level lower than the existing cloud base, creating a lowering known as a wall cloud.⁠ ⁠ We pulled over on the side of the road here next to a bunch of farmland, which, if you are traveling around Oklahoma, is quite abundant. Waiting for a tornado to potentially form, while we may not have witnessed a tornado on this day, we were certainly exposed to plenty of strong wind, rain, hail, and lightning.

The setting sun peeks over the Sandwich Range, at the end of a wintry day in the White Mountain National Forest, New Hampshire.⁠ ⁠ Unlike the sharper, more alpine peaks of the Presidential Range of the White Mountains, the Sandwich Range has more rounded summits and longer ridgelines, due to this being an older mountain range, shaped over millions of years by heavy erosion and repeated glaciation. The most prominent peaks here are Mount and East Osceola, and the forested bowl in the midground of this photograph drains toward the Pemigewasset River. The foreground is filled with young balsam firs and red spruce saplings, short in size and barely able to push up through the thick snow here.⁠ ⁠ This photograph was taken from the Pemigewasset Overlook, one of the four major overlooks featured on the Kancamagus Scenic Byway. I stopped at all four on this day, and while the other three were fully plowed of snow, this one, for whatever reason, was not. Which, being in an all-wheel drive vehicle, proved to not be a major issue. The same could not be said for a couple of the other visitors who happened to pull into this parking lot on this afternoon. Of the upwards of an hour spent at this overlook, the majority of it was spent listening to the whirring wheels and laborious manpower efforts of the passengers trying to push their vehicles back out of the thick snow this parking lot was composed of.

Two male barasingha deer engage in ritualized sparring, inside Kanha National Park, India.⁠ ⁠ The barasingha, also known as the swamp deer, is a species of deer commonly found inside Kanha National Park, a park famous for its conservation efforts focused on this very species. Barasingha once faced near extinction due to the destruction of their natural habitats across India, primarily swampy grasslands and meadow systems. In the 1970s, Kanha established a conservation program that restored and protected these habitats, allowing the population to recover from just 66 individuals to over 1,000 found there today.⁠ ⁠ Barasingha stags practice these sparring rehearsals as a way of assessing each other’s strength, interlocking their antlers and applying pressure gradually. The goal is not injury, but to test and establish dominance hierarchies before peak breeding begins. They will almost always avoid full, injurious fights unless absolutely necessary, choosing controlled sparring instead. No charging or twisting of antlers takes place, as the interaction functions more like a negotiation of dominance. Only when rivals are evenly matched and neither backs down does true combat occur, and even then, it is quite rare.

The morning sun peeking through the opening of India Gate, not too long after sunrise, in New Delhi, India.⁠ ⁠ Completed in 1931, this 138-foot (42 m) tall triumphal arch was built as a war memorial to the British Indian Army soldiers who died during World War I and the Third Anglo-Afghan War, with over 13,000 names of those who died inscribed in its stone. It is primarily built from yellow and red Bharatpur sandstone, with its base being made of granite. The current statue featured behind it (and to the left in this photo) is also made of granite, dedicated to Netaji Subhas Chandra Bose, installed in 2022.⁠ ⁠ I arrived here early this morning, prior to sunrise, setting up dead-center and further away from the monument, taking a photo I previously posted here, featuring the sun just above the horizon and to the right of the monument. After the sun rose, I wanted to get a shot of the sun itself visible through its center, with its light beaming outward like a massive spotlight. Using an app on my phone, I looked at the sun’s future path, set up my tripod in a position that would accomplish this, and waited for this moment to take place.

A snow-capped Cloud Gate sits in the heart of Chicago’s downtown on a frozen winter morning in Millennium Park.⁠ ⁠ Normally, Cloud Gate, aka “The Bean,” reflects about 80% of the Chicago skyline, but on this snowy morning, the blanket of snow reduced that reflection to roughly 40%. This photograph was taken three days ago, and another fresh few inches of snow fell this morning, with the temperature hovering around 10 degrees F (-12 C). Being snowy and quite cold, the number of tourists present at this popular sculpture was significantly lower than usual, with a still healthy crowd cycling through throughout my time photographing it.⁠ ⁠ Some of the more notable buildings in the background include the Blue Cross Blue Shield Tower, the tall blue-glass skyscraper on the far left; the Metropolitan Tower, the ornate brown Art Deco tower with setbacks just right of the blue-glass building; One Prudential Plaza, the tall beige building near center with a stepped crown and antenna; and the Crain Communications Building, the tower on the far right side, recognizable by its diamond-shaped roofline.

A Pacific banana slug very slowly makes its way across some rain-saturated leaves, inside the Quinault Rainforest, Washington.⁠ ⁠ Being one of the largest terrestrial slugs in North America, Pacific banana slugs are an important part of the forests they inhabit, essentially acting as little slimy cleanup crews. They feed on fungi, decaying plant material, and algae, helping recycle nutrients back into the soil. They are named banana slugs due to their general resemblance to bananas, although this is not always the case, as their coloration can range from cream, to olive-brown, to their notorious bright yellow. They can also be spotted or plain, depending on genetics and environment.⁠ They are quite common in temperate rainforests, due to the abundance of the mosses, ferns and fungi they rely on Although widespread, finding them can be quite the challenge, due to their size and ability to blend in to their surroundings. As common as they are in the wild here, the Pacific banana slug has become the official mascot of the Pacific Northwest temperate rainforests, as every store I stopped in around the area had stuffed animals, t-shirts, stickers and all sorts of other souvenirs celebrating its beloved status.

An almost entirely frozen Glen Ellis Falls, one snowy morning in White Mountain National Forest, New Hampshire.⁠ ⁠ Glen Ellis Falls is a 64-foot (19.5 m) tall waterfall located in Pinkham Notch, a mountain pass in the White Mountains of New Hampshire. Beautiful all year round, its appearance dramatically changes during periods of sustained winter cold, allowing it to almost entirely freeze over. This effect is further enhanced during periods of recent or ongoing snowfall, as was the case on this morning.⁠ ⁠ Spray from the plunge zone repeatedly coats the basalt and granite walls, resulting in bulbous ice layers building outward, rather than the single solid sheets of ice other waterfalls might display. Because this waterfall sits in a heavily shaded notch of the mountain, with limited sun exposure and frequent cold air pooling, it is more likely to freeze over completely than many other waterfalls found in the White Mountains.⁠ ⁠ This scene was beautiful to witness in person, as it snowed softly throughout the entire time spent photographing here. The fresh snow covered the layers of icicles present, and between the sound insulation provided by the snowpack and the far less furious roar of the frozen waterfall, the scene felt far more peaceful and serene than it would during the warmer months.

The sun begins to rise behind the rolling mountains and meadows inside the northern region of Yellowstone National Park, Wyoming.⁠ ⁠ This photograph was taken early one morning while heading into Lamar Valley, an area rich in wildlife, rolling mountains, and sagebrush flats, all influenced and shaped by the Lamar River. The intent this morning was to arrive in Lamar Valley itself just after sunrise, as this is the prime time to witness wildlife there.⁠ ⁠ Just before entering the valley, I pulled over to the side of the road at a small pond, as the rising sun was beginning to paint the hazy sky a warm peach color. This lone tree atop the hill caught my attention, and between the pastel sky, the layered depths of mountains in the distance, and the sagebrush-dotted foreground, I grabbed this quick photograph before proceeding onward, starting my morning alongside the wildlife found in this special place.

A juvenile Columbian black-tailed deer, foraging in a late-summer meadow, inside of Olympic National Park, Washington.⁠ ⁠ Columbian black-tailed deer are a subspecies of mule deer, and are found almost exclusively along the Pacific Coast, from northern California through Washington. This particular juvenile was likely just shy of 3 months old, given its size, spots, and the time of year it was observed. At this point in their development, they do not stray too far from their mother, learning how to forage alongside her. This includes learning where to feed, when to feed, and how long to spend eating versus scanning their environment for predators.⁠ ⁠ Unlike white-tailed deer, black-tailed deer rely heavily on edge habitats, just like in this location, where a meadow is bordered by forest. This provides a prime feeding zone while also allowing a quick escape into the cover of the forest, if needed.⁠ ⁠ I stumbled upon this juvenile feeding only a short distance away from its mother after a short hike inside of Olympic National Park. Their slow but methodical grazing allowed me ample time to sit down on the ground, get to an eye-level position, and engage in a relaxed photo session as they both slowly made their way through the meadow, eating plants as they went.
