Cliff edge of plateau on top of Gangerang Range
Kanangra-Boyd National Park, NSW, Australia
Nice sunset picture taken by John Graham.
I uploaded the picture to Facebook
where it was clearly captioned that
the photographer was John Graham.
It attracted a mindless raging rant
by a racist guy whom I don't know,
and whose Facebook name is:
Jeff Dorset (Eco Bushwalks Non Profit)
(Sometimes, he uses the name Geoff Dorset.)
And he claims to be a
"Walks leader at Eco Bush & Coast Walks Sydney".
Seems Jeff Dorset was jealous of others
being able to take nicer sunset photos than him.
Then accused me of faking the colour !!!
Below was the Facebook photo
and the mindless rant by Jeff Dorset :-(

Jeff Dorset, Photo wasn't even taken by me !!!
Hey John Graham,
here is a guy who is accusing you of
faking this photo !!!
[ No further comments by Jeff Dorset afterwards. ]
By the way, I know John Graham.
He never fakes a photo !!!
Post Script:
The photo was taken in a bushwalk
to Kanangra Creek via Murdering Gully.

Acripeza reticulata (Mountain Katydid, also known as Mountain Grasshopper) ~~~
The one on left and also the one on top-right is a female. When its wings are folded, it looks like a small lump of dirt and is not easy to be spotted. But when its wings are spread out, you can see the beautiful red, blue & black bands on its body.
The male is much skinnier - bottom-right.
Just looking at the photo, you wouldn't have imagined they are the same insect !
Above photo was taken in 2015 March, during a climbing trip to Gungartan Mountain in Kosciuszko National Park in NSW, Australia. Photos and trip report of that climb are in:

Left-right brain conflict
Look at the chart below,
and say the colour, not the word.
(Your right brain tries to say the colour.
But ...
Your left brain insists on reading the word.)
