Is it us or would this shot make a fantastic book (or album) cover? 🧑‍🎨

A heron takes off in-front of the fiery setting sun near the River Thurne. Well done to Will for capturing this incredible shot!

what actually is the australian doing, giving scomo a chance to say his piece? do they think aussies have forgotten his antics, not to mention his crimes? (robotdebt related crimes) obviously they do indeed think that.

Yes, it is amazing, and a lot of hard work to get there! Going by the comments of people who bought the book at the book-signings, they were interested in finding more about Daoism (Taoism.) Thank you for your question!

This looks like one of Chen Rong's dragon paintings, or maybe an Ink Dragon copy from the Ming? (just been doing a substack post on dragon paintings)

In Chinese mythology, the Kun (鯤) is a colossal fish dwelling in the northern sea, first recorded in Zhuangzi. When it transforms, it becomes the Peng (鵬), a bird so vast its back spans thousands of miles. In flight, its wings darken the heavens like suspended clouds. 1/2
