"Halfway up The Nose of El Capitan is one of the wildest pendulums in existence"--it's called the King Swing! I shot this way back in 2015 with my Sony a6000 (a CMOS sensor camera) and a 70-200mm lens for a 35mm equivalent of 300mm. Still, it's cropped waaay in. The climber's goal is seen in the fourth frame, grabbing onto a crack in the rock face so they may continue their climb up The Nose and to the top.

A color landscape photo of a gray granite rock face with two climbers. One climber is spotting a second climber about thirty feet above them as they attempt to swing from the far right side of the image to the far left side of the image where they will grab hold of a crack in the rock face so they can continue their climb up the mountain. The climber attempting the swing from the right, and who is suspended from a rope above them, has a yellow-green shirt on, a small backpack, and is making a very large step to gain the momentum necessary to swing across the rock face to the target crack.

The climber attempting the swing from the right, and who is suspended from a rope above them, is now at the bottom of the swing and is making very large strides in their attempt to swing far enough to grab the crack on the left side of the frame.

The climber attempting the swing from the right, and who is suspended from a rope above them, is now nearing the crack on the left and is just starting to reach out to insert their fingers into the crack. They are still about ten feet away, however.

The climber attempting the swing from the right, and who is suspended from a rope above them, has now reached the crack on the far left and appears to have obtained a hold. They are lying horizontal on the rock face and have yet to pull themselves over the crack.

New post: My thoughts on Marvel Comics' plans to relocate to California. Also, the west coast in Marvel and DC doesn't seem like a big presence in-story unless the plot calls for it (see: "west coast versions of some team," or "heroes go to Hollywood/Vegas" stories).

Marvel announced this week that it’s leaving its longtime home of New York City to join parent company Disney in southern California.

The image depicts a black and white photograph featuring an older woman with glasses, wearing a heavy coat. She is holding two children; one in her arms appears to be looking directly at the camera while the other child is seated on her lap. The environment suggests they are outside near some sort of wooden structure or booth where items like "Karo" syrup and "Rose Cigar" paper can be seen, indicating a possible setting during an economic hardship period. The woman's expression appears to convey exhaustion or contemplation as she gazes off into the distance. The children appear malnourished and dressed in worn-out clothing, reflecting poverty. This photograph is likely from historical documentation of impoverished families during difficult times, possibly around the Great Depression era given the attire and conditions depicted.

💁🏻‍♀️ TIL: 🏖️📉 #California has lost roughly 60% of its coastal sand dunes since the 1850s, a loss of about 442 km².

Researchers used historical #maps, aerial #photos, and #lidar #data tracked by #machinelearning to measure the decline. Most losses came from development, #erosion, and invasive grasses, but some dunes expanded by 15 km² .

California’s Coastal Dunes Are Vanishing. Over 60% Have Disappeared Since 1850

The loss is accelerating and leaving entire ecosystems vulenrable.
