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...

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.
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.

no need for tax breaks when you have computers that can just make stuff up.

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