Total lunar eclipse (Blood Moon) from Bangka Island, Indonesia.
It was very cloudy, I almost gave up. Then in the last few minutes before the totality ended, the wind suddenly changed direction and I saw the faint sight of the moon.

I saw two giant cuttlefish the other day in Bangka that were obviously having some sort of color changing and tentacle-gesture conversation about us divers and what weird nerds we were
still thinking about how cute it was yesterday when I was diving and saw a cuttlefish and the cuttlefish immediately turned white and angrily swam away slowly while bowing at me a lot (?)
I love how cuttlefish absolutely can convey obscenities to humans without speaking English

In Indonesia, a corruption scandal and illegal mining have devastated Bangka Island’s coastal wetlands. With 36% of its forests gone, displaced wildlife is clashing with local communities.
Experts say the destruction of these habitats is the primary driver of rising crocodile attacks.
