These photos of solar power projects in China are incredible. I especially like this one of the Hangzhou West Railway Station. www.theatlantic.com/photography/...
A high-resolution aerial view of a large, modern train station, showcasing an impressive and symmetrical architectural design. The central structure has a futuristic, cross-shaped roof made of glass and metal, featuring a gradient from silver to bronze tones with integrated solar panels. Multiple railway tracks radiate outward from the central building in organized patterns. Surrounding the main terminal are several smaller buildings and high-rises with rooftop gardens, access roads, and pedestrian pathways. Construction activity is visible in the top portion of the image, with cranes, exposed foundations, and building materials.

Headed on a @fieldkit.bsky.social expedition with @jlewallen.bsky.social to the Dja Faunal Reserve in Cameroon for work we do with @ioes.ucla.edu. Thanks to NorthFace for the perfect rainforest bags full of sensors, tree climbing gear, and expedition supplies.

Amateur radio needs to be more inclusive and I fully support this effort. I want everybody to feel welcome to this hobby, the bands are for all of us and should bring us joy. I upgraded to AE today and that strengthens my resolve on this even more. #HamRadio www.amateurradioinclusivitypledge.org

Headed now to the Colombian Amazon on a FieldKit.org expedition. We are continuing the work we have been doing in the Amazon to equip local communities and indigenous groups with open source tools to monitor their environment.
