Something I should be doing right now (time to get back in shape)!
Weeping Angel?
Cheers

As in Dr. Who https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Weeping_Angel I meantProbably because it's imprisoned. I took it because it looked sad behind bars.
Very nice. Makes me feel warm just looking at it.With Tropical Storm Colin pushing through here today, I thought a super sunset would be better to look at than the stormy skies.
Part of the VLA . Giant radio telescope in the middle of nowhere in New Mexico . There's 27 of these antenna out on the plain listening for , I dunno , maybe classic rock from the Delta Quadrant? Amazingly the disks can be repositioned via a railroad which can move the disks closer or farther apart depending on what they're looking for and the Earth's position .
Thanks . The trip to this place was an unplanned sideshow due to my getting down to Albuquerque from Santa Fe earlier than I'd planned . The VLA is truly in the middle of nowhere . Nearest town is Magdalena ( pix to follow) , about 20+ miles away . Got interrogated by the Marshal there . Just curious about my camera stuff . Anyway , the VLA is pretty neat . The pictures don't do it justice . Each of the discs are 80' in diameter and must be 100' high . And they move them around .Great shot. Right up my alley too as I'm a big fan of astronomy.
