I learned some fun facts about this pumice dune the morning after this flight took place. A local naturalist revealed to me that a few feet below the surface, there remains ice from the last glacial period +10,000 years ago and that Pika actually live underground there. Sadly, last year’s winter mysteriously turned the pine trees brown in that part of the valley, perhaps from early frosting and dense fog. Hopefully they bounce back🌲#speedflying
After a record breaking wildfire season last summer, California is already experiencing double the amount of wildfires this year compared to last. Hoping that collective effort against climate change and wildfire prevention can stop this trend and save our forests #sonyalpha #a7sii
