• Comment – Leaning to support. In reading the file description I think the depicted width is 1832 meters, is that correct? I think adding the width to article captions is a good idea. A TIFF file is available from the source, converting it to JPG gives a larger, less lossy, file size. Bammesk (talk) 02:06, 17 March 2017 (UTC)

• I uploaded a larger file and added the width to file description and article captions. Support. Bammesk (talk) 13:47, 18 March 2017 (UTC)
