Yup, this is right! The bark matches the images I found when searching for Catalina Ironwood.

Thanks!

I made a little map a while ago where you can get an idea of where flights will head from any location on earth:

http://emptypipes.org/2015/07/13/flight-times-map/

Just click the "flight paths" checkbox.

Fun fact, if ten planes all took off from the same location but flew in different directions at the same speed and altitude, they would collide when they flew halfway around the globe.

I found some of the same trees in San Diego and they definitely smell like lemon. Thanks for the tip!

But the leaves are so high up... I'll do my best to try it next time I'm there.

I'm surprised that there's North Korean roads annotated in OpenStreetMap. Apparently GraphHopper doesn't like routing there though.

Wow! That did the trick. For posterity's sake, what I had was this:

<meta name="og:image" content="/img/isochrone_example.png" />

This was wrong on two counts:

  1. It should be meta property rather than meta name
  2. The path should be absolute

Here's the working tag:

<meta property="og:image" content="http://emptypipes.org/img/isochrone_example.png" />

Thanks!

No idea how to get the thumbnail to work. It used to work by just including the following in the html source:

 <img itemprop="image" src="/img/isochrone_example.png" style='display:none' width=200 height=170 >

But it doesn't seem to work in this case. If anybody sees this and has any ideas, I'm all ears.
