        I thought the tumbleweed was employed as a greeter, easy mistake.

          Haha but you included more info. Did you know it or find it? I saw the word Bishop twice in the photo. Googled it. Found the airport. Flipped through street view photos and found the baggage claim.

            I’ve been to Bishop, but never to the airport. I found a photo of the baggage claim on GIS, which brought me to a Japanese travel blog: https://npo.mirokuyamanokai.org/2022/08/24/37887 - plus Google translate, of course.

        I had a feeling, it looked familiar. Thanks for the confirmation. 👍

    Fantastic. I love the je ne sais quoi feel of this kind of image.

    There’s nothing fantastic, sexy, colorful… it just has a comfortable simplicity and calm beauty.

        And here I thought the airport in Roswell, NM was the smallest but this just took the cake there.

    The angle of the cement and the dirt in front is not could probably be straighter to be more Anderson-esque.

      I swear I saw one early on, and someone was posting the a lot. My first account was on vlemmy.net; maybe it was there and disappeared with that?
