Shot in Jeju Island, South Korea in July 2025, incidentally at Kimnyoung Maze Park.

Sitting there next to a pond with all authority was this Blue-tailed Forest Hawk . . .

. . . and he was ready and willing to strike a pose.

The texture and the clarity of the wings were especially striking

Like a veil of stained glass

That was until we zoom into the steam-punk mechanics on his back.
