Almost Huge Moon

nobody@ipernity.com (Robert Swanson) — Fri, 08 May 2020 15:28:54 +0000

Taken as a test of a 300mm lens on the Panasonic Lumix GX85 (effective 600mm). Hand-held.

This was taken in Arizona the day after a "maximum moon", so it is "almost huge".

This is more interesting to me, because you can see shadows of craters, etc, which are not so clear in a full-on completely lit moonface.

Trying for "minimalist" Sunday challenge. Well, ONLY the moon is in the photo....

Spy Satellite Target Benchmark

Robert Swanson has posted:

Taken in the desert near Casa Grande, Arizona. These markers are located close to the RV park where we spent many winters.

The "target" is a group of concrete pads in that shape. There is a benchmark in the exact center. The operators of the spy satellites would take photos of these markers, and then check their locations against the exact positioning of the benchmark.

This is a "circle in a square" for Sunday Challenge.

Summoning my courage, I take a deep breath as I prepare to enter the abyss. Horrific sounds of tortured souls emanate from from the depths, or is it my heightened imagination playing tricks on my mind? What is in store for me as I enter this dark realm?

Entry into the Underworld

Scott Holcomb has posted:

After decades of searching I have at last discovered the fabled entrance into the underworld. I feel an overwhelming urge to discover the secrets that lie in the abyss. As I write this account in my journal there is anticipation, and yes, the expectation that I may never again see the light of day. Let it be known that I have lived a full life before I take the plunge into the depths of darkness. With good fortune and provenance from above I may some day surface to tell the world of my discoveries.
With wavering courage and feelings of trepidation, I forge ahead.

Taken near the rail yards at Belen, New Mexico. The Burlington Northern Santa Fe use this, primarily to fuel trains. The fences are there to keep us out of these busy yards.

I took this photo near the Harvey House museum, which is just alongside the track.

Some of the trains that stop here are 3 miles long.
