The Altamont Pass area in California is particularly well situated for wind generation, with isolated hills and proximity to the Pacific Intertie system, a major power distribution trunk for the west coast.

This was captured with a DSLR and 400mm lens. The main challenge was that the camera kept rebooting from the powerful induced fields from the generators and power lines.

These giant wind farms, tucked away in the countryside and visible to most of us only in fleeting glances from interstate highways, are perhaps the closest objects our generation has to the emerging skyscrapers of a hundred years earlier. Their scale is unreal, and they conquer the landscape in ways we can't really comprehend. In a sense, they're self-abstracting sculptures of themselves.

Washington Hilton, 2023

This iconic Kalorama hotel, opened in 1965, was designed by William Tabler, chief architect for the Hilton chain. It famously hosts a number of prominent events, including the White House Correspondent's Association Dinner, the National Prayer Breakfast, the Shmoocon hacker conference, and the assassination attempt on President Reagan, the latter giving rise to its local nickname, the Hinckley Hilton.
