Layers

The Very Large Array (VLA) is a radio astronomy observatory about a two-hour drive from our home. It consists of 27 giant radiotelescopic dishes. Altogether they are 2.5 miles in diameter. A single one weighs 230 tons. I think they are even more remarkable with the layer in the foreground--don't miss it!
For a smile, Charlie has a companion photo today here:

Thank you for pointing them out. I was on the dishes and the hills. Interesting shot.

[Charlie]

The antelope make a interesting picture better. Great picture.

[PhylM-S]

Wicked interesting. Your addition of the foreground was brilliant; without it, you’d not get perspective on their magnitude of size!

[Tremerryn]

What an extraordinary sight! Wonderful!

[Janet B.]

Incredible shot, Jane!

[Poppo Livy]

Terrific Jane. What are they in the foreground?

[Poppo Livy]

Don't bother to reply Jane. Just been reading about Pronghorn Antelope although it is not really an antelope. :-(

[Kathie]

Glad you pointed out the antelope. I was focusing on the VLA. Neat shot

[Margo]

Interesting shot

[Casablanca]

Fascinating - and so close to the wildlife!

[DbJ_365]

So just another reason why when "they" come you'll probably see them before me? ;-)

Thank you so much for commenting on my photo of the Very Large Array. Because you might not know our landscape, I feel a need to tell you that to find a wild herd of antelope grazing right in front of the array was very, very unusual.

[Johanna Koppes]

@janeandcharlie There are a lot of them.

[Harbie]

Great shot, Jane! We have not seen that yet but is on my list for the next time we visit Socorro!

The aliens are coming.....
