The Drama Above And Below

Looking Down on the Alabama Hills
The Alabama Hills are an interesting set of rock formation and mining claims near Lone Pine, California. I have written about them before, here.
All The Power And Symmetry
Drone views are usually interesting views. Why does the building at right have way more panel density than the one on the left?

Altadena, 7 Weeks Later
