Nature Is Metal

Coastal carpet python pulling up on a brush tailed possum in the middle of the women’s toilets, at an undisclosed campground near Wivenhoe, QLD Australia. It's a good thing this was recorded during the day, because if this was at night you could probably convince the vatican to send an exorcist. The daylight exposes this for what it is, but more importantly for what it is not: a class 6 free floating apparition. This possum has some heft, but that might be because it's not alone: the carpet python killed a female with a (still living) joey. The fact that the snake dropped it gave the folks watching enough time to rescue the joey while still letting the carpet python keep its lunch. I’m not usually an advocate for human interference, but if there were a “right” way to do it, this would be it. The joey doesn’t go down with the ship and the snake doesn't go hungry. 📽 by @jkleidon_ & @kaitlinfrost_ - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Nature Is Metal is powered by you!

Blue Whale charging full speed ahead! What an amazing day it was with @gonewhalewatching! Erica and I were out on the scouting boat today and found at least ten Blue Whales, most of which were in range of our 2.5 hour trips! To that point, Captain Michael on the Hana Hou spent time with 3 Blue Whales, as well as a Fin Whale on the 11am trip today! The weather this week is looking top tier, and the Blue Whales are arriving in San Diego! While nothing can ever be guaranteed with wild animals, this would be an excellent week to come out with us to search for the largest animal on earth! For tickets visit: www.gonewhalewatching.com

I hope you all the feel the peace surrounding this nature. #switzerland🇨🇭 #switzerland #reels #cowbell #riverlife #reelsinstagram #reelsvideo #naturephotograpy #appenzell #appenzeller #appenzellerland #appenzeller #greenfields #switzerland_destinations #earth #beautiful #vacations #peace #videography #quite #reflection #offbeatenpath #inlovewithswitzerland #worldfrommyeyes

Captured between the storied walls of Shaaz Jung’s ancestral home and the untamed beauty of the wilderness, this is a tribute to the Italian heritage of @canali’s Spring Summer ’25 collection. A dialogue between craftsmanship and landscape, where natural tones, tactile fabrics and soft constructions reflect a new way of dressing — one rooted in observation, freedom and quiet precision. #Canali1934 #ShaazJung #CanaliSS25 Photography: @meister.photo_

Vatnajökull Field Notes: Day 0 January 18th, I broke my ankle skiing in Japan. It wasn’t really the way I imagined starting the year off but an MRI & CT scan with @doctor.masi confirmed the break. I immediately launched into doing everything I POSSIBLY could to recover before the expedition… all while feeling an immense amount of anxiety about my inability to train and considering the responsibility of being a good partner to the crew joining the crossing. I started looking for exit options along the route knowing full well that the best call might eventually be removing myself from the equation. 21 days before the expedition - I got another scan showing the bone was healing, but still quite broken & not in good condition for a 230 mile ride across snow & crevassed ice. It’s hard to fully express the stress I felt in those 3 weeks leading up.. these trips are more than just fun or personal objectives... They’re an essential part of my livelihood & I pour my heart & soul into preparing for every detail. Even training in weird stretches of sand dunes while on the road to try & emulate glacier travel. I’m so grateful to have made it happen despite the circumstances and to share the crossing with a truly incredible group of riders. I’ll be recounting the trip over the next week here with a special series of posts, stay tuned ! @kurt.refsnider @justin.and.bikes @tyson.flaharty @miron_golfman Special Thanks to: @roka @rapha @ari.bikes @envecomposites @tailfincycling 🎥: @vidirb @joelbarger_
