A picture of a snow leopard roaming Mt Everest published in The Times today!! pretty awesome
@chrischirp Took me a minute to see it. Mt Everest is hard enough to climb without leopards getting involved!

@chrischirp Amazing shot!

Too bad the resolution is so low. I've offered to help #Mastodon fix its #resolution problem (at no extra storage / bandwidth), but the thread is kind of quiet - feel free to chime in if you think it deserves attention. :)

(Unless of course the original's resolution was that low! :)

Nearly hiked to #Everest Base Camp with my father. But then #COVID hit and derailed our plans. Probably too late now (health).

Image resolution limitations - an increasing problem. · Issue #20255 · mastodon/mastodon

Reopening discussion over maximum image resolutions. There's recently been a big influx of people from Birdsite, and with them, a lot of artists - who are disappointed when they get here and find t...

@chrischirp
One of my favourite animals (although I really wanted a tiger as a pet when I was young!)
@chrischirp Hi, undid my boost. Love the picture but I miss the image description. Welcome to Mastodon 😃 🍍
@chrischirp - what a beautiful creature it is 💕
@chrischirp that's Ana incredible shot. I love the way it captures both the beauty, emptiness and the sheer size of the mountain. While the tiny snow leopard, in comparison hunts alone in the harsh environment.
@chrischirp Very cool, it looks very intense

@chrischirp I saw this earlier and wondered what it was expecting to find up there, when an awful realisation dawned on me.

Stunning pic, regardless.

@chrischirp aren't there loads of cadavers there 😳
@chrischirp Would be good to see the photographer acknowledged here.
@chrischirp Sorry, your toot is ambiguous. Is this fabulous shot your work? (If not, please credit the artist.)
@chrischirp
Wonder what he eats? On second hand I don't think I want to know 😅
@chrischirp Snow leopards are beautiful animals and deserve protection, but…. There are more snow leopards in the wild than there are Scottish wildcats. #ScottishWildcats deserve protection now.
@chrischirp At the Museum of the Great Collapse, Bunker 2042: "Oh, look! See this very rare photo from 2022? At that time, there were still a few places where you could find some snow and ice. There? That's an old wild animal. Yes, Kevin? What's snow? Well, let's just say..."
@chrischirp honestly, sometimes,well mostly really, mother nature is just wow
@chrischirp The most peaceful thing I’ve seen all day. Thank you!
@chrischirp me on this app right now
@chrischirp Nature produces the best forms of art
@chrischirp That is stunning. Thank you for sharing.
@chrischirp not much to hunt at that altitude…
@chrischirp
Awesome indeed. Thanks for sharing.
@chrischirp I hope it finds some thing to eat.
