Our Desert Landscape in 3D

saguaro.pngWhen we were adding landscape to the property a couple of years ago, we had the landscapers install a couple of smaller saguaros in addition to the large one by the garage.

One of the two smaller saguaros is in the center of this image, flanked by some creosote bushes and a cholla cactus behind. Other than the saguaro, the shrubs and cholla were already here.

M47 Patton Tank in 3D

M47 Patton TankWe stopped briefly at the Patton Museum at Chiriaco Summit on Interstate 10 today on our way back from a quick visit to the California House. While we were there, I snapped an image pair of a Korean War vintage M47 Patton Tank and merged them this evening into this 3D anaglyph. I did a post on this same tank in October of 2009, but this one is from a different angle taken through a chain link fence. Click to enlarge.

Of course, you will need your free pair of 3D glasses to view the anaglyph image. If you don’t have your 3D glasses you can view the 2D image here.

A Desert Spa in 3D

A Desert Spa in 3DA few days ago, Verna went to the Spa at Los Caballeros here in town. They gave her a pedicure, a manicure and a facial. She liked it. We plan to make a visit to the spa a regular thing.

While we were there, I took a pair of images of the spa and later combined them into this anaglyph view. Click on the image to enlarge.

Of course, you will need your free pair of 3D glasses to view the anaglyph image. If you don’t have your 3D glasses you can view the 2D image here.

Moon’s Messier Craters in 3D

Messier Craters

This is a 3D image taken from the Apollo Command Module in orbit around the moon during the Apollo 11 mission.

Astronomy Picture of the Day published this image and the following story:

Many bright nebulae and star clusters in planet Earth’s sky are associated with the name of astronomer Charles Messier, from his famous 18th century catalog. His name is also given to these two large and remarkable craters on the Moon. Standouts in the dark, smooth lunar Sea of Fertility or Mare Fecunditatis, Messier (left) and Messier A have dimensions of 15 by 8 and 16 by 11 kilometers respectively. Their elongated shapes are explained by an extremely shallow-angle trajectory followed by the impactor, moving left to right, that gouged out the craters. The shallow impact also resulted in two bright rays of material extending along the surface to the right, beyond the picture. Intended to be viewed with red/blue glasses (red for the left eye), this striking stereo picture of the crater pair was recently created from high resolution scans of two images (AS11-42-6304, AS11-42-6305) taken during the Apollo 11 mission to the moon.

The Surface of Mars in 3D

Mars in 3D

I found this panoramic 3D image on APOD yesterday. Click on the image to view the full-sized 3D panorama.

From your vantage point on the deck of the Curiosity Rover Mount Sharp, the crater’s 5 kilometer high central mountain looms over the southern horizon. Poised in the foreground is the rover’s robotic arm with tool turret extended toward the flat veined patch of martian surface dubbed “John Klein”.

The Hog Trough in 3D

The Hog Trough - 3DToday was “Junk Food Day,” the once-a-month trip to one of our local restaurants to get something decadent, but good, of course. This is the Nearly Famous Hog Trough BBQ and Smokehouse, located in the old downtown area of Wickenburg. Click on the image to enlarge.

I rendered this 3D image in shades of gray rather than color for two reasons; the blue sky background looks black with one eye and gray with the other, also the little hog on the sign is pink, which looks white with one eye and purple with he other. Images like this one are sort of uncomfortable to view in color.

Of course, you will need your free pair of 3D glasses to view the anaglyph image. If you don’t have your 3D glasses you can view the 2D color image here.
