oh my _god_ I have never seen an AQI this high

An air quality sensor map around the town of Wenatchee, Washington. The map shows hilly terrain and a river running through the town. Air quality sensors are dotted around the map, all of them a disturbing deep maroon color, with PM2.5 values reaching as high as 768. There are about 16 sensors and the average among them is around 500.

& other photos from the Vancouver waterfront yesterday :)

A double rainbow over a row of seaplanes in Vancouver Harbor, flanked by North Vancouver and the mountains. The Chevron seaplane fuel station is floating off to the left behind the seaplanes.

People leaning on a railing over the water looking at the double rainbow

A rainbow touches down on the water in front of North Vancouver. A ferry is toward the camera. The rainbow connects all the way to the ground, appearing as if it were a spotlight aimed at some of the buildings.

Intense sunset / post-storm light washes over the clouds and water in Vancouver Harbor. Parked seaplanes in the foreground are flanked by a docked container ship and cranes, as well as the Ironworkers Memorial Bridge.

timeline cleanse: the seattle skyline as viewed from don armeni park, august 2022

The Seattle skyline at night. The sky is pitch black, and everything from the Space Needle to the Columbia Tower is lit up. The city lights are reflecting in huge stripes across the water of Elliott Bay, and there is a surprising amount of pink, purple, blue, and red light, in addition to the ordinary warm white of most buildings.

another shot with the hyperzoom from the other day: the sunset lit up just this one house and nothing else for a minute

A relatively wide angle photo of the Eastlake area in Seattle as viewed from Gas Works Park. Foreground is a grass hill with a few paved paths and plenty of people. Behind that is the water of Lake Union, then Eastlake and northern Capitol Hill rise out of the water. The hill is probably half trees and half buildings, and one lone building in the center of the hill looks like it's on fire from how it's catching the sun. The sky is partly blue and partly cloudy, the clouds are a warm orange grey.

A hyperzoom shot of the lit-up house from the last photo. Barely larger than a speck in that wide shot, the house now takes up probably half of the frame. It legitimately looks like it's on fire, the house's many large windows are producing dazzling reflections of the setting sun. The house is surrounded by green trees, and a couple tall highway lamp posts rise up from beyond the bottom of the frame.

gonna start posting some of my photography here, I think

A super zoom shot of the Space Needle in Seattle. Only the top of the tower is visible: the exterior elevator rails, the glass observation deck, and the spire with the US flag. It's set against a featureless, warm gray sky.
