Tom Cruise has dangled from cliffs, skyscrapers and planes, but oil magnate Digger Rockwell is his riskiest role in eons.

He opens DIGGER lounging in a bed soaked with cat pee, tempting an elderly feline named Maggie to lick wet chow from his gnarled pinkie nail.

Review: Tom Cruise destroys Earth in 'Digger,' a messy climate satire that occasionally strikes gold
Director Alejandro González Iñárritu teams up with a prosthetics-swaddled Cruise for a bleak comedy about a Texan oil driller who triggers the end of the world.

#ThickTrunkTuesday #Eucalyptus #Trees #PointPinole #Nature
Massive eucalyptus tree with a wide, gnarled trunk and peeling smooth bark, thick branches fanning upward through sparse leaves, standing in a park with distant trees and a small bench near its base. Large sprawling eucalyptus tree with smooth, peeling pale-gray bark and numerous twisting limbs radiating outward and downward beneath a dense canopy of narrow leaves, with gnarled fallen branches and roots resting at the base.

Oh, to spend the afternoon lounging against the Great #Cypress with a good book on a warm & sunny #SanFrancisco day

A photograph of a huge gnarled tree trunk that starts near the bottom of the image on a grassy knoll and rises majestically like a living cliff out of the top of the photo. The tree is so large that its crown of leaves is outside the image. At the base of the tree, barely visible on the viewers left side, a woman with black pants and a beige blouse leans into the tree. Unseen in this shot is the book resting in her lap, as she takes a break from reading to enjoy nature. The background of the image is filled with the leafy green crowns of numerous other trees, all in all creating a compelling reason to sit and relax a bit.

Japanese graffiti ,Shibuya, Tokyo
Painted directly onto a textured, off-white stucco exterior wall, this urban mural blurs the boundary between traditional decorative painting and contemporary street art. At its center, a painted vertical hanging scroll (kakejiku) rendered in ochre and earth tones displays a delicate study of crimson plum blossoms (koubai). In a clever trompe-l'œil illusion, gnarled plum branches burst outward beyond the scroll's visual borders, trailing pale pink blooms across the rough plaster. To the left, a modern outdoor water heater—bearing a swift, black marker tag—and exposed utility piping create a sharp, tactile contrast against the organic elegance of the painted flora. The scene evokes a distinct urban sensory atmosphere: the cool air of a Shibuya backstreet, the coarse grain of weathered stucco, and the quiet surprise of encountering seasonal beauty mounted beside industrial utility. Situated within the alleyways of Shibuya, this piece exemplifies Tokyo's evolving street art landscape, where classical Japanese artistic motifs (kachō-ga, or flower-and-bird genre painting) are recontextualized on concrete and plaster. Traditionally, the kakejiku was displayed inside a home's tokonoma (display alcove) to mark seasonal transitions; here, the mural democratizes the alcove, bringing seasonal contemplation out into the public sphere. The plum blossom (ume) holds deep historical significance as the first flower to bloom amidst late-winter cold, symbolizing endurance, courage, and spiritual renewal.

The image is a close-up of a tree branch with green leaves. The branch is twisted and gnarled, with a rough texture. The leaves are densely packed together, creating a canopy-like appearance. The background is blurred, but it appears to be a garden or park with other trees and plants. The sky is visible through the leaves, and the overall mood of the image is peaceful and serene.

the Verger was never quite sure if the tumbled wall was down to tree roots or to the pre-dawn "noises" reported by three successive caretakers, none of whom stayed longer than a week in the gravekeepers' cottage before resigning

A cinematic fantasy digital painting of a dark, mystical landscape at night. In the center, a lone silhouette of a traveler stands on a rocky edge, looking towards a giant, glowing orange moon that dominates the sky. The massive moon casts intense fiery light and subtle vertical light streaks downwards. The scene is framed by ancient, gnarled trees with deep red, autumn-like foliage. A calm water surface in the foreground creates a perfect, vivid reflection of the giant moon and the silhouette. Glowing fireflies or embers float gently through the misty air. Dark, epic atmosphere, dramatic chiaroscuro lighting, rich textures, high fantasy concept art, ultra-detailed, 8k.\n

A mighty, centuries-old tree with a deeply furrowed, gnarled trunk stands at the centre of an enchanted park. Dark, densely leafy branches in the foreground frame the view like a gateway. A historic stone staircase winds past the imposing tree in the soft sunlight.

I’m gearing up toward making more of these trees. I’ve downloaded the latest info from the JPL small bodies database to find out how many round worlds we’ve found way out there beyond Neptune in the last couple years.
A teal colored ceramic bonsai pot with a gnarled wire tree planted in it. On the tree’s branch tips are many gemstone beads representing planets, moons, and small bodies of the solar system.

(masterpiece, professional photography, award-winning photo, intricate image:1.2). In a neon-lit, cyberpunk cityscape, a twisted forest rises from the ground like a gnarled hand reaching for the sky. The trees bend and writhe as if in pain, their branches tangled together in a toxic embrace. At the heart of this forest, a glowing, green pulsating orb beats with an unnatural rhythm - a symbol of love gone horribly wrong. A serpentine vine coils itself around the heart, tightening its grip with each beat, reflecting the ever-growing tension between passion and pain. It's as if the heart is filled with poison-green slime that oozes out, seeping into the twisted foliage below. The air above the forest shimmers with a neon haze, the wind whispering secrets through the tangled branches. Far off in the distance, storm clouds gather, electric bolts of energy crackling within them - the embodiment of the chaos brought forth by this toxic love. Beneath it all, the city pulses with life, its inhabitants oblivious to the dark beauty that unfolds before them, a testament to the blurred lines between seductive horror and mesmerizing allure.

(masterpiece, professional photography, award-winning photo, intricate image:1.2). I want to generate an image of a toxic love symbol, set against a backdrop of dark, twisted trees. The symbol itself should be made up of two interlocking hearts with sharp, pointed edges, one red and one black. The hearts should be surrounded by delicate, lace-like tendrils that resemble snakes or vines, also in red and black. In the background, the dark trees should loom large, their branches twisted and gnarled like skeletal fingers. There should be a subtle gradient of purple or indigo hues on the edges of the image to give it an eerie, otherworldly feel. (NSFW:1.5), (high quality, best quality:1.5).

An illustration of a wand casting a spell, causing a hole to open up in the world and a purple blade emerging from the hole. Bright pink magic flies off of both the blade and the tendrils of the hole. The wand is a gnarled stick of wood, wrapped at the bottom with cloth and decorated with small charms.

Still Waters, Dark Thoughts

Every answer you ever avoided is waiting on the other side of that water. The fog does not hide it. It never did.

#AIイラスト #AiArt #SynthArt #Flux1-Dev
A lone dark-coated figure wearing a hat stands at the foggy bank of a glassy lake beside a massive leafless tree with sweeping gnarled branches. The still water mirrors both the figure and the pale mist-shrouded forest beyond. A small dark-cloaked figure stands in a flat grassy field facing an enormous ghostly beast made of swirling wind and flowing white tendrils, its skeletal face open in a roar, particles scattering from its mouth toward the figure beneath a churning gray storm sky.
