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?
After receiving minimal snow the past two years, this week's storm has proven rather cathartic
Everything shuts down over a few inches around here. Meanwhile I just say DA BEARS and grab the boots and camera.
And how! I was lucky enough to call it home for two years.

Lesotho is truly a magical part of the world with a rich history and vibrant culture.
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 😃

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.

Oh wow! Thanks for the kudos.. I'm humbled! Glad this seasonal composite resonated with folks :)
I’ll kick it off: Lesotho group 80 (Community Health and Economic Development) from 2013-2015
- Some of the grassroots projects I started in my village are still functioning today. By that metric it was certainly successful.
- I didn’t even know what Lesotho was when I got my invite. Needless to say, it’s an absolutely beautiful part of the world and I consider it a 2nd home now.
- Almost daily. I have two very close friends and we keep in touch on Whatsapp. I also returned in 2019 for a vacation/reunion and plan to do so every 5 years.
