Beyond Abzu (2012);

This is a recreation of an old panorama done back in 2012, using only RAW files without rendering any HDR as I did originally. Actually I've made a large size format and for some time it was offered in some photostock websites, but all that is gone by now. Typically after doing such panoramas I'd end up soaking and freezing (all done in winter).

…#Biden plans to invoke the 1953 Outer Continental Shelf Lands Act, which gives #POTUS broad powers to withdraw federal #waters from future leasing.A federal judge ruled in 2019 that such withdrawals cannot be undone without an act of #Congress.

#POTUS #Biden will move Monday to block all future #oil & #gas #drilling across >625 million acres of federal #waters — equivalent to nearly ¼ of the total land area of the #UnitedStates….
