Take if from the sunset guy! Great stuff.

My question is: How did you create an avif file?
I of course, dragged it to the computer file system so I could see it in the large, which it deserves.

Turns out is is an avif file, which my computer opens in GIMP by default, though it opens in Preview on the mac, which I can make the default for avif, but this may be the first avif file I ever ran into.

Not to be over-technical, but I'm the go-to guy for computer stuff. I just fixed a disappearing gmail account over the phone yesterday.

And I do love sunsets.
There's always a surprise inside!!!

Enjoy your posts.
And your avatar. 🦴
