I’m overdue for a long train ride.

Feature not bug!

Big morning in our house as we heard the first songbirds of the year

Ero destinato alla sensibilità. Ero destinato a diventare uno scrittore. Ero destinato a diventare Jep Gambardella.

Found this sunrise from Feb 3rd 2020 sitting in a folder. I think I forgot about it because I was still recovering from Covid Classic™ that I had caught in Spain a few weeks earlier. And because life was about to become very different on account of the same.

I got a tattoo and used power tools today; I go to bed a happy camper.

The aurora became visible quite quickly to some audible gasps including my own. Starting to fade slightly now. Still amazed to be seeing this in the middle of Chicago.

Aurora update: yooooooooooooo

It’s amazing to see and talk with so many people out hoping for a sighting of the aurora, planes and stars overhead

Now we just need this haze to get with the program

If it’s of interest, here’s how basically the same frames look after I process them on a 27” monitor instead of on my phone, on the beach, in the dark, with frozen hands.

Taken within a minute of the others; mostly I updated the tone curve to match what I wanted to show.

Hey, seeing this post on my timeline is what reminded me to go out and look, thanks so much! I saw G4 and ran to the lake. From Chicago:

A siege-breaking snowstorm followed by the strongest aurora in living memory is proof that Chicago has the Mandate of Heaven and its enemies will die by her sword

Absolutely magical night by the lake with all of our neighbors staring at the sky in awe

Stunning aurora over Lake Michigan tonight viewed from down my street in Chicago

Just got to answer a hyper-local pronunciation question about my fairly rural hometown online, and…is this what New Yorkers feel like all the time?

The Red Line Schism

Hilltops in the badlands

I used to watch the broadcast after children’s shows when I was super young, and it’s one of the first things that got me interested in the broader world from my little room in Pennsylvania

Unsure exactly what I was doing on Wikipedia last night

Last weekend I drove to Theodore Roosevelt National Park for some peace and quiet and time for reflection. The park was very empty but I wasn’t quite alone.

From the rooftops

Gotcha, thanks for looking out

I am in North Dakota. Here is a buffalapse.

Wow, crazy, so why do you have the ISP helping them right this moment?

This is not the most insane part

I’ll be thinking of this article the next time I hear a rousing Star Spangled Banner or receive a lecture on how someone protected my freedoms

I am once again asking how I am supposed to work under these conditions
