The choice of light color for land … oof

It was like a magic eye poster for me, I knew something was there, but had to stare it into existence

To be fair, It’s also 4 am, and I just woke up

Yeah, it always throws me off too when land is lighter.

Yep same here. Took me way too long to actually “see” the image. Interesting how that works.

Neat, I've had dinner in Kokomo. Or, on the Cay formally known as Kokomo I guess.
