    Thanks for the kind words. Indeed I was quite pleased with how this one turned out. Right after a substantial rainfall too

    Happy to help, but can you elaborate on a photosphere? Is that just a 360° panoramic photo?

    Everything shuts down over a few inches around here. Meanwhile I just say DA BEARS and grab the boots and camera.

    In November of 2022, I photographed this tree amidst some fog while traveling in Shenandoah National Park. I captured the same image without fog in October of 2023. Here's a side-by-side. [OC]

    Once you get into the woods the fog is substantially less. Not sure why. Here's a picture from that morning's hike taken on the Whiteoak Canyon Falls Upper Trail: https://lemmy.world/post/3812709

    Thanks! He was totally watching my every move as I opened the window and started snapping. That's why I love this pic. He's staring straight into the lens! I was ~20 ft. away with my telephoto 😃

  • A man plays a flute at the weekly Meridian Hill Park drum circle in Washington, D.C. [OC]

    It might have a different name, but I recognized it as an old school wooden one common across parts of the African continent.

    This weekly drum circle established in 1979 at Meridian Hill Park in D.C. illustrates how rhythm and unity is ubiquitous across all cultures. A couple more shots here: https://imgur.com/a/urBJJNI

    Thanks, I used Google Lens to reverse image search and then cross referenced the results with my state’s biodiversity page.

    Didn't even know such a thing existed. At first I thought it was a baby hummingbird until I got closer and saw the fur and antennae.
