Central Sierra Nevada views from 200 km / 120 miles away near the Mount Diablo summit. Strong inversion layer developed over the valley, mangling the high peaks in a somewhat comical way. mastodon.social/@midendian/1...

I've learned a lot about extremely-long-range landscape photography in the last two years so seems time to update the Yosemite From Mount Hamilton panorama. Imaged in near-infrared, resampled to ~10m/px at Half Dome.

Greyscale panorama of enormous mountains with peaks of many shapes, pointy, flat, rounded; some snow-covered, others too steep to ever be obscured. One in the center is both: rounded on the south side with bits of snow, but a shear drop on the north side where it plunges into Yosemite Valley.

taking a couple days off for spotting at Toulouse, in unexpectedly-pleasant weather. mastodon.social/@midendian/1...

Airbus Beluga XL freighter (A330 with its height doubled and somewhat disconcerting smile and eyeball painted on to look like a beluga whale) arriving at Toulouse airport. Airbus A350-1000 "flight lab" test aircraft landing at Toulouse. Future Air France engine on a cart being taken for a ride. Air Algerie 737 landing at Toulouse.

wandering around space tech expo today if anyone wants to chat about space cameras.
Enormous building with angular facade, big fluffy snow falling.

I’m not terribly interested in investing in another growth-scam social network but maybe I’ll cross-post pics occasionally? mastodon.social/@midendian/1...
