Very Large Array

This is an HDR image taken one week ago at sunset. The stars were added from a second shot taken about 45 minutes after sunset. I admit that this scene is a little in-congruent - obviously you don't see these stars at sunset - but I thought they fit the theme of the radio telescope antenna.

A great mood in this. Actually, this works better for me as a morning shot. It has that feel.

Great idea well presented. Certainly a very cook result.

It may be incongruent, but it sure does work for me.

Going upwards through the frame is a bit like time traveling through time and space... great.
