I was dying to paint a few canvases of these. But I know for a fact some other jerk already paints high-altitude flat-aspect abstracted landscapes. So maybe I can't, too! But I bet mine would be better.
That's Yosemite down there! Can you see Half Dome down there? On the lower left.
Not so bold and sassy without some Ansel Adams to tart you up all iconic are you, Half-Dome?

Or to us in the modern day, it comes across as if an extremely hi-res and hideously slow-to-load Google Maps had been installed beneath us, and was agonizingly scrolling by - out of the West, passing on its interminable way back East.
So to be clear, the "some other jerk" was only meant to refer to whoever the most famous jerk may be, whoever has taken that butt-obvious idea and made it (to the greatest degree possible) their own, owned shtick (or one of their shticks).
It's no knock on the art itself. I can't recall the artist, but there it was, right smack on the museum wall, doing some justice to the flat, abstracted canvas Earth concept, and really complementing the minimalist benches they had in the viewing room. So good job, whoever you are! Keep it up. No need to look over your shoulder too much.
I'll be there, but I'll be awhile.
