Another from Yellowstone in Winter.
I know is technically the next month, but here is the last of the 3 pics I took of the magnetic stimulator, let it finish with the month. On this one we get a glimpse of the bi-concavous coil.
Is that for your personal use or part of a medical practice? I looked up the Magstim and it is quite expensive.
It's the property of the hospital I work at. It is expensive, but compared to other medical equipment, not that much.
However, for "personal use" it is both impractical and not cost-effective.
Loved my visit there. It was frigid up there, and looking at the roiling clouds on the windward side and seeing the beautiful afternoon on the opposite was interesting. You can ski at the top, and swim and play outside in shorts and t-shirts when you get back. And the Big Island can have all the weather at once in different areas. Loved it. Too expensive to move there, but the idea was hard to dismiss. Great shot.
It was an odd experience driving to the 13,800' summit. I live in Washington State and have climbed Mt. Rainier at 14,411' multiple times - very different experiences!
They've really fixed up the road and rental car companies have removed their prohibitions on it - really a neat drive. We took a small tour bus up to the observatories on Mauna Kea. On the way down after dark, we pulled off and they hauled out some really high-quality astro scopes and we were able to get some great observations.
As I remember, the Access Road/Hilo side of Saddle Road (East?) was the worst. I had to do that tour to get to the summit. That was a highlight to be sure. I love sitting outside watching for satellites and natural objects. Great fun, relaxing, seeing our tax dollars at work.

Sorry, I got carried away. Deleted...
Thank you! In general, the Digital Photography subforum is one in which the primary focus (pun intended) is for members to share and talk about photography, their photos, gear, techniques, etc.,. In particular, the idea behind and continuing with the POTD thread for any given month is intended to be simply about members sharing/displaying images that they've taken and are choosing to do so with a specific image (which may be from one's archives or one fresh out of the camera) on a particular day (one image per day), rather than the thread then getting sidetracked by a lot of commentary or extended discussions.
As the guidelines mention, there's space for that -- discussion, etc. -- in the subforum itself outside of the POTD thread, and/or of course one can always engage in PMs with the photographer when a particular image and/or subject they've presented is especially appealing, brings up reminders of one's own visit to a location, whatever.
At the end of each month, when we shift to a new month for sharing our POTD, there's frequently been an issue with people posting images in the just-expired month, and that is something which continues to be problematic as we try to remind members posting that, hey, it's xx month now. What would be ideal would be an automatic locking of a POTD thread at the end of its month and an instant referral to the new month, but that's not exactly happening so we still have people posting images in a month which has already expired and we try to say, "hey, it's [new month]" but sometimes that doesn't always work.
Most of us regular contributors to the POTD have goofed along the way, and fallen into this very trap, automatically going to the "watched" POTD thread and adding our newest image (or planning to do so) without remembering that, oops, it's a new month.... A really easy mistake to make! The reminders that, "hey, it's [new month]" are often our first clue, and we respond accordingly.

Just a quickie: I posted an incredibly beautiful picture of a very proud and large flower, and titled the image 'Sex', and got hammered. (*Forgot where: Facebook!
) This looks like 'SEX!!!', and a major 'come hither' for bees to help it procreate. Flowers are about 'sex'. It's freaking nature people, and some can't seem to handle it. I guess I'm still amazed at the nasty comments. Sad...Great shot!!!
EDIT = *
