Sunspots

20120928-spots.jpgAfter looking at the SpaceWeather.com website this morning, I want to the courtyard and took several images of the sun. There are three large sunspots visible in this image and several smaller ones that can’t be seen because of my my crude method of solar photography.

These three spots are not currently flaring, but they are capable of producing flares that hurl particles and radiation into space. If the flare comes toward Earth, it could affect power grids and communications.

Our Trailer In 3D

Our Trailer In 3DI hitched up the trailer today and towed it down the RV drive to get it out of the way of some work that needs to be done behind the house. After I finished unhitching the rig, I took a pair of images to be merged into a 3D anaglyph image.

Of course, you will need your free pair of 3D glasses to view the anaglyph image. In case you do not have 3D glasses, you can view the 2D image here.

Vulture Peak Panorama

Vulture Peak Panorama

Verna took an image looking west from Castle Hot Springs Road yesterday. I cut her image down to make this nice panoramic image of the Sonoran Desert with Vulture Peak in the distance. Very pretty scenery. Click on the image to view the full-sized panorama.

US Highway 60 Improvements

Through most of the summer, the Arizona Department of Transpiration has been working on a one mile stretch of US Highway 60 (Wickenburg Way) through the west side of town. Now, the work is nearly completed with just some landscape details along the roadside remaining. Click on the image to enlarge.
