alxd ✏️ solarpunk prompts

We don't often see #art or #illustration of #solarpunk #infrastructure - and it's not an easy thing to convey.

Scandinavian101 decided to explore some #solarFarm #desert panoramas, building something close to #simonStalenhag 's juxtaposition of huge and personal, mundane and special.

A panorama of a solar farm located in a desert, with huge white-and-red towers being warmed by solar rays from enormous arrays of mirrors. Just at the base of one of such towers an electric car is being charged.

Six pecked human-like forms with large headdresses on a dark cliff wall, as well as other smaller forms.

“At the Edge of the Salt Flats” — Panamint mountains tower above as a small wash runs to the edge of the salt flats, Death Valley,

During my late-February visit to Death Valley National Park I spent two early mornings photographing this location. It is generally most interesting at dawn, when the morning light shines on the distant Panamint Mountains, so I was there well before sunrise. In order to find ideal locations here you really have to scout ahead of time. On the first of the two visits I slightly missed my target location in the darkness. I still got photographs, but before my return on the last morning of my trip, I checked it one more time and determined that following this runoff gully would get me where I needed to be…continues: gdanmitchell.com/2025/04/15/at
