I have some sad news to share today for anyone who visits the Ashridge Estate and knows it well.
One of the iconic trees was damaged by a winter storm and, following a safety assessment due to its proximity to a main path and subsequent attempts to save it, it has sadly had to be removed.
The tree arching over the path will no longer be in this wonderful view...
Here are a few images of the tree for the memories ❤️🌳
Something I noticed today is that Mastodon strips out all exif data for my uploaded images. Does anyone know if there's a way to stop this? As a photographer I prefer that data is left in place as it contains useful information.
@supernovae: Is this a server setting or just general Mastodon wide behavior?
Mt St Helens on May 14, 2023. The next day, a landslide took out the only road leading up to the Johnston Ridge Observatory, stranding dozens of people who had to be airlifted out and cutting off access to the area.
