A brief trip down memory lane [Explore 2020-09-30 #40]

In February we went to the NASA Ames Research Center to attend the GoFly event, where teams from around the world displayed their flying motorcycles, hoverboards, human drones, and more.

 

The vehicles were on display just next to Hangar One, one of the world's largest freestanding structures, built in 1933 to house large airships. A few years back the exterior panels were removed due to toxic materials, including lead paint and polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs). The hangar is a well known landmark in the Silicon Valley; personally I prefer the "naked look."

 

I processed a paintery, a balanced, and a photographic HDR photo from three RAW exposures, blended them selectively, carefully adjusted the color balance and curves, and desaturated the image. I welcome and appreciate constructive comments.
