On this pleasant hike I saw some birds I don't see too often: Fox Sparrow and Purple Finch.
I noticed an interesting dark vertical cloud edge at one point... by the time I decided to photograph it the sharp vertical line started to dissipate.

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.

I used Photoshop's built-in align and focus stacking features to try to blend a pair of foreground-focused and background-focused images, which worked ok, but I think the single exposure looks more natural.

I thought the straight lines of the cloud and ground made for an interesting composition... perhaps with more processing this shot would be more interesting.
