Nature is Essential
I had a chance to get out and wander in the local woodlands late last week, and that was very important for me as life in general lately has been fairly stressful. I was becoming easily distracted and quick to irritation, and the opportunity to get out and go wander in the Angeles National Forest just before the most recent rains rolled thru really helped me reset my patience and focus.
The tranquility that was there to be found really spoke to me, as it isn't lost on me that time in the wilderness necessitates patience (for a slew of reasons really), and this little mental analogy between my daily struggles and my current environment helped remind me about refocusing on that in my day-to-day life.
Nature is essential.
Let's go exploring.

Telescope Dome, Mt. Wilson Observatory, Angeles National Forest, California, 2023.
The beginnings of "big science" and the evolution of astronomy as more than speculative star gazing are both encapsulated in this structure. Its telescopes are now obsolete for most kinds of optical observations in the visible spectrum as larger mirrors and locations far from urban light pollution make other observatories more useful for those. Mt. Wilson Observatory is still used for some other types of astronomical explorations. Amazing that only a little more than a century old, the observatory saw the known universe expand from a single galaxy to one of countless galaxies spread over billions of light years even as the number of planets known to orbit around stars has grown exponentially. Mt. Wilson's telescopes and the early astronomers who worked there laid the groundwork for all of the magnificent facilities now available to astronomy and astrophysics and for the discoveries they are making. Not least of those is the Webb Telescope in space 1.5 million + km from earth.

I headed out into a stretch of local wilderness yesterday to see if I could exploit the cloud inversion we had clinging to the Los Angeles basin. The clouds and moody atmosphere had been clinging to us along the coast for a few days, so I went up to a spot in the Angeles National Forest to see if I could get above it all, go for a little hike, and bag a few compositions.
I loved the layering effect of sunsets light on the close hill, with the midground hill separated by shadow and just a pinch of mist. This layering leads the eye to the fog in the middle right and that far ridgeline. It is important for this ridgeline to have that little bit of separation it has with the one just below it to allow the eye to then move out into the light of the sunset and the rest of the textures from the inversion in the upper left of the image.
Composition 101 aside, I just loved this view, and I felt pretty fortunate to have been able to go out and explore it. It's a spot I've been to before, but also one I've (almost criminally) neglected over the last year or two.
I'll have to remedy that.
Let's go exploring.
