@weegee.bsky.social Nobody remembers Shannon’s Deal, it seems. I remember it fondly but I’ve never been able to find it again.

@markstoneman I remember the photos from that event. Being east of the Sierra forests, I’ve seen a number of dark events. Currently, my PurpleAir sensor was running above 300 AQI for several days, still above 150. Hoping for a change of wind direction this evening for some relief.
-
@markstoneman Yes, but I also built a Corsi Rosethal box out of K&N MERV 13 filters. That’s a mouthful, but basically it keeps the air indoors in great shape.
-
@Miraz Yeah, too bad the smoke is so tiresome. We’re directly downwind and that doesn’t look to change for a while.
-
@maique Thank you. Glad you weren’t on that trolley.
-
@markstoneman No, near Bishop, CA, bordering Nevada.
-
@mikenz Ansel Adams didn’t call it the “Range of Light” for nothing!
-
@tinyroofnail beautiful, and distinctively northeastern, I think.
-
@Miraz Stunnng.
-
@dwalbert That’s beautiful.
-
@jean I always see dogs in those forms.
-
@Miraz I’ve known people with koi ponds who would not be happy about that…
-
@restlesslens Oooh, I like that.
-
@numericcitizen Lovely!
-
@JimRain Thank you. Looking at this again, I think I should have titled it “Cloud Noir”.
-
@bradleyandroos It’s a good word, “crepuscular”, so I used it again today.
-
@todd Ah, too bad. Nero Wolfe was a favorite of mine growing up. The banter between the unusual characters was the thing. Some people tried to write more after Rex Stout died, but they didn’t have his spark by a long shot.
-
@dwalbert No, but the right one is cruel and the left one is spineless.
-
@cliffordbeshers I think these are Dickens characters.
-
@tinyroofnail I just noted the micro-shadows on that paper…
-
@tinyroofnail Beautiful and on point for someone who works with magnificent views beckoning.
Email is just me at gmail.

@Miraz Robert Reich posted a chart recently showing the increase in wealth of the top 1%. Virtually no growth shown i the lower 50% over the last decades. I’ve been considering that the de facto US policy that the results of government research are free for all to use needs to be codified and tagged with conditions of guaranteed tax rates and distribution of that wealth.

@gregmoore I actually always think of the film noir technique where they would use flaps on a light to create a band of light across the actors face: www.reddit.com/r/cinemat…
-
@tinyroofnail Jack is absolutely right.
-
@tinyroofnail In a less poetic way, the interplay of light and shadow on complicated natural 3D shapes is a fundamental stimulus of our visual system. I have a friend who asserts that physical books are more satisfying to read because the whole visual system has something to latch onto, tiny shadows and textures that just aren’t there on most displays. A logical corollary is that big, natural visual displays stimulate large sections of the brain.
