Got the Altamont book by Henrik Hanna and #CharlieAdlard today and read it in one setting. This was a book I could not put down. While this wasn’t like Joel Selvin’s excellent book, this OGN focuses on a group of teens attending the doomed concert. I loved this book and what an ending! #altamont
![The image depicts a rural setting with modest housing and an old car on a dirt road. There are three small, wooden structures that appear to be homes or sheds, situated in the background against a backdrop of rolling hills without much vegetation. The primary building is constructed from wood panels, has a gabled roof, and features a chimney indicating it may have been used for heating or cooking purposes. An older model automobile with rounded fenders and exposed engine parts suggests an era that could be mid-20th century.
In the foreground on the left side of the road sits another vintage car facing away from us, possibly stuck in mud given its position off the paved path.

A close-up, high-angle vertical shot of a small Blue Tit perched on a thin metal bird feeder. The bird is facing left in profile. It features a bright cobalt-blue cap on its head, a white face with a dark line running through its eye, and a vibrant yellow chest that blends into greenish wings with blue tips. The background is a soft, out-of-focus blur of greys and warm beiges, making the colourful bird stand out sharply. The lighting is soft, highlighting the fine texture of its feathers.
🐦 This Blue Tit was pausing for a split second between snacks! Fun fact: their blue caps actually glow under UV light to attract mates. Nature is properly wild.

A vertical shot of a tranquil lake at Altamont Gardens. The water is dark and still, creating a near-perfect reflection of the trees on the opposite bank. A large, weeping willow hangs over the water on the left, while a very tall, slender tree with a high canopy dominates the centre, its silhouette stark against a pale, overcast sky. The overall mood is moody, calm, and slightly desaturated, emphasising the textures of the branches and the rippled reflection.
The stillness at Altamont Gardens yesterday. The water was like glass. You couldn't tell where the trees ended and the reflection began. A perfect spot to just breathe and reset. 🌿💧

Today in 1969, #MeredithHunter was stabbed to death by a member of Hell’s Angels at The #RollingStones’ free concert on the #Altamont speedway.
Hunter was 18 & the Angels were working security & paid in beer.
The event effectively ended the psychedelic dream of the ’60s.

It is an extraordinary Rolling Stones bookend: December 6, 1968 and December 6, 1969. The Stones released Beggars Banquet on the former date. Then came Altamont, 1969's 49th rock festival.
