The Giant A coastal redwood in Santa Cruz. Side note: it is insane how much #Instagram has deteriorated in past 3 months. Now lucky to break 75 likes on a post, down from 250. Story views also down. People just leaving the platform. #california #photography #redwood #santactuz #nature #tree

Bluesky allows links, so I'm going to share a cool collection! This is the first Soviet “Earthrise” image, recovered from the Zond-6 mission, taken about a month before the US. The second is the first color image from Zond-7, about 9 months later. More here: mentallandscape.com/C_CatalogMoo...

Upward lightning at Big Bend National Park, May 12, 2023. Learned a lot on this chase about instincts when I realized both the cell service gap and the radar hole. Quarter-size hail was a puckering moment. #txwx #wxphoto #bigbend #texas #landscape #stormchaser

Happy solstice! Here in the northern hemisphere, the days start getting longer. Since daylight savings in the US, I’ve been struggling with the darkness. Grateful for the promise of more light. A winter scene from #NewMexico in the Jemez Mountains.

It’s been so long since I’ve seen the ocean, I guess I should 🎶🌊☀️ Much needed weekend bumming around Santa Cruz. Used to spend every Christmas in #California with my Dad. Missed the gentle chill on every breeze and the sweet ocean air. The roar of the waves. The stillness of observation. Presence.

The waves of red airglow were astonishing. Airglow is caused by self-illuminating atmospheric gases. When I first started astrophotography, I thought it was a deficiency in my camera and would lower blacks and push contrast to filter it out! #astronomy #photography #colorado #MilkyWay #camping

Literally squealed when I saw this shot. Sandhill crane flying in front of tonight’s nearly-first-quarter moon in #NewMexico. Fun working comps with the cranes this year. In the past, I reacted to the birds, now I wait for the vision. Peaceful syncing with nature. #wildlife #photography
