Who left a 4-mile-wide 'Black Lives Matter' mural in Nevada's Black Rock Desert?
...
The message appears to be written in perfect Helvetica font ...
The message is four miles wide and the circle is 13 miles in circumference ...
All together, there is 25 miles of text, Valle found after driving the whole message. Each stroke of each letter is about 50 feet wide, he added.
"It’s so big that it can actually be seen on my search and rescue team’s weekly updated satellite imagery feed," said Valle....

Take the edge of a piece of paper and set it on the edge of the circle. It really doesn't move, but this is one of the best visual tricks I've ever seen.

Sensorio - light installation near Paso Robles CA.
Featured in The New York Times as #6 in “50 Places to Visit in 2020,” Light at Sensorio features two installations by internationally acclaimed artist Bruce Munro. Field of Light is a 15-acre walk-through experience, Munro’s largest artwork to date, comprised of more than 58,800 stemmed spheres lit by fiber optics, gently illuminating the landscape in subtle blooms of morphing color that describe the undulating landscape. Our latest installation, Light Towers celebrates Paso Robles’ extensive wine country environs, featuring 69 towers composed of more than 17,000 wine bottles, illuminated with glowing optic fibers whose colors morph to an inspiring musical score. Powered by solar, these stunning exhibits captivate visitors, inviting them to engage with the landscape and environment through an ethereal light based and sculptural experience. Smithsonian Magazine has called Munro’s art “stunning,” while The Guardian noted “This is art you feel, rather than art you view.”

Nice! Oddly, nothing shows perspective on the website. Each of those towers must be at least 7-8 feet tall. The " 58,800 stemmed spheres lit by fiber optic":O Really wrote: ↑Wed Oct 26, 2022 11:10 amSensorio - light installation near Paso Robles CA.

We haven't decided to go or not. They say it takes an hour, hour and a half walk-through at $50/each. Thought we'd ask around for somebody who's gone, but the pics are really spectacular.

Oooh, that's a good one. Doing lights in botanical gardens have gotten fairly frequent over the past few years, but some are clearly better than others. That's one of them. Enjoy!
