Smoke this morning at the new camera site in Redwood National and State Parks. The view of Bald Hills and the Redwood Creek watershed was generally obscured but did clear up a bit later in the day. These two images are from the same time, one from the ground, the other from the NPS camera at the top of the lookout tower.

I started a blog in the form of my diary where I communicate with ChatGPT about Nietzsche's philosophy. ChatGPT explains it very well:

A quotation from Douglas Adams

If it looks like a duck, and quacks like a duck, we have at least to consider the possibility that we have a small aquatic bird of the family Anatidae on our hands.

Douglas Adams (1952-2001) English author, humourist, screenwriter
Dirk Gently, No. 1, Dirk Gently’s Holistic Detective Agency, ch. 30 [Dirk] (1987)

Camera update: Boston National Historical Park. There are four cameras at this park site. The last update from these cameras was provided on the evening of July 6. It is common for service to be restored quite promptly after such disruptions occur. In the meantime, this sunset image is a good indication of the type of view one can expect from this location.
