It’s a remarkable innovation that was spearheaded by scientists at Caltech, who asked the head of CBC, Michael Ort, if they could use dark fibers for their experiments after the Ridgecrest earthquake a few years back.
Here’s the link to the published article in Nature:

I was walking our dog Yoshi a little later a couple days ago, and was treated to another great Sierra Nevada sunset. I think the composition turned out well. #sierranevada #owensvalley #bishopcalifornia #sunset #sunsetphoto #canonr5

I’m staycationing this week, using up as much vacation leave I accrued during the pandemic as I can, before I lose it at the end of June. It was such a nice morning, so I took the Vespa into town to grab some lunch. It’s super busy in Bishop for Mule Days, but the best part of living here is that in about two minutes, I can be all by myself and out of town again. Just another great day in California. #vespa #vespagtv #scootering #bishopcalifornia #owensvalley #ilovecalifornia #californa

Pretty good Sierra Wave on the evening walk. Here’s what Wikipedia says about it: “The Sierra Wave is a type of air current created by winds that lift off the Sierra Nevada mountain range of California. Known as lee waves, Sierra Waves form as winds hit the Sierra Nevada and are forced to rise, causing water vapor to condense as it cools and forming lenticular clouds on the leeward side of the mountain range.” #sierrawave #sierranevada #owensvalley #bishopcalifornia #ilovecalifornia #california

I had a chance to catch a high school soccer match yesterday evening, and it brought back so many great memories. Watching those kids play against the backdrop of the Sierra and White Mountains, seeing those wonderful families, bundled up in the cold weather, cheering for those kids, reminding me just how special a place it is, knowing our own children got to grow up here… #bishop #bishopcalifornia #johnschwabfield #sierranevada #whitemountains #california #ilovecalifornia #highschoolsoccer

Howdy all, from the Owens Valley, on the East side of California. We got slammed by the recent atmospheric river storms, but it’s calmed down this week. It’s my first post on Mastodon, so please forgive me if I’m not yet clear on posting conventions and etiquette. #owensvalley #california #sierranevada #bishop #bishopcalifornia #myview
