Had no idea Somervell was an accomplished painter! He also took one of the greatest mountaineering photographs of all time, on the 1924 Everest expedition, of teammate Edward Norton near his high point of 28,126'. Still had an amazing eye for composition while oxygen-deprived and exhausted.

Huge turnout today outside the NOAA building in Boulder (also next to NIST & NTIA, with NCAR just up the hill).
Uplifting to be part of it, but also depressing as hell that it's necessary. While there I talked with 3 just-illegally-fired NOAA folks, no doubt there were others.

In @edyong209.bsky.social's excellent photo, we can see that Greater Roadrunners display the warming stripes for their locale--in this case, Arizona.
