Shoot 2022-01-14-142825

A Great Blue Heron stopped by the neighborhood in the afteroon one day. It landed on a neighbor's roof, looked around for a minute, then flew across the street to another roof. Our house is nowhere near any bodies of water, so needless to say it was my first sighting of one of these at the house. I also saw a pair of Cinnamon Teals at the ponds, which eBird informed me was a rare sighting for this time of year. Pretty cool.

The above hashes-<date>.txt file contains SHA-256 hashes of all the photos from this shoot. The hashes-<date>.txt.sig is a signature of that hashes file, created with my PGP key. The signature file itself was written to both the Bitcoin Cash and Algorand blockchains, in the OP RETURN and Note fields respectively, using the transactions below. In short, this proves that these photos and the signature both existed at the time the transactions were written to the Bitcoin Cash and Algorand blockchains. This blog post has more details.
