I guess so. But all I can see are extremely fuzzy images.[0] Anyone know why I might be seeing that? 0) https://keybase.pub/mirimir/flare.png https://keybase.pub/mirimir/flare.png

  Do you have javascript disabled or a slow connection? That looks like a low res image to make the site load quicker before the higher quality (larger file size) images load.

    That seems to be it. The HTML for the first image is <div class="article-photo-placeholder"><img data-progressive-url="https://prod-lensculture-photos.s3.amazonaws.com/original/ce95b807-b76a-4557-a8ac-bb53cabff94a.jpg" src="https://prod-lensculture-photos.s3.amazonaws.com/small/ce95b807-b76a-4557-a8ac-bb53cabff94a.jpg" class="photo progressive-image-loading"></div> But what gets displayed is https://prod-lensculture-photos.s3.amazonaws.com/small/ce95b807-b76a-4557-a8ac-bb53cabff94a.jpg https://prod-lensculture-photos.s3.amazonaws.com/small/ce95b... ["200px × 150px (scaled to 964px × 723px)"]. However, https://prod-lensculture-photos.s3.amazonaws.com/original/ce95b807-b76a-4557-a8ac-bb53cabff94a.jpg https://prod-lensculture-photos.s3.amazonaws.com/original/ce... loads just fine, and quickly. So their code is just deranged.

  Yup, check your JS blocking and/or connection. I can confirm that the pictures in this article are both high-quality and simply beautiful (especially for those of us who love industrial porn).

    I do connect via nested VPNs. Bandwidth isn't bad, but latency is 100-200 msec. Maybe the site is just confused.

  The same thing, in Firefox on Linux. Disabling uBlock origin didn't help, neither did disabling DuckDuckGo privacy extensions.

    Yes, for me as well, Firefox in Linux. I use NoScript and a bunch of other extensions, but disabling them didn't help. And sure, I could have spent more time debugging it, but damn. These are image files!

  As others have suggested, I suspect it is because javascript is disabled (I see the same images and I disable javascript). Websites that "need" javascript to display a 26 year old image format and/or text(!!!) can go pound sand.

    I don't think that it was Javascript per se. I do use NoScript, but I did "temporarily allow all this page". Twice. However, I do block WebRTC, and I didn't disable that. > Websites that "need" javascript to display a 26 year old image format and/or text(!!!) can go pound sand. I registered at MeWe. And ever since, I've been getting "Updates at MeWe" with just this: "Please view this email in an HTML compatible email client." Why they can't include plaintext of the actual update is beyond me. I emailed them about it, but never heard back. So I've written them off as clueless.

I know they are used to it, but I doubt I'd be able to get comfy enough to sleep there! The pictures are beautiful indeed :)

I think all the photos are beautiful in this article. There's a sense of peaceful harshness in that type of climate.
