A Pool for the Clubhouse

A Pool for the Clubhouse

In addition to the new clubhouse at the Retirement Ranch, the management is installing a pool for the seniors. The pool is relatively shallow with stairs at both shallow ends and a ladder in the deepest part. There is also a whirlpool spa at the south end of the pool. Click on the panorama to see full-sized in the image viewer. Be sure to scroll right to see the whirlpool.

The pool should be complete in a few weeks. I will post another panorama of the complete, water-filled pool and spa.

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”.

North Wickenburg Winter Panorama

North Wickenburg Winter Panorama

We drove to the top of the hill behind our house where I took several images to merge into this nice panorama. There is a little wind and the temperature is about 53° and mostly sunny. This view of the mountains north of town has no snow at present, but will likely have some soon with the next winter storm passage. Click on the image to see the full panorama.

Mountain Panorama

On our way to the dog park today, Verna took this image of the mountain range north of Wickenburg. I cropped her image into this colorful panorama. It was another beautiful day here today, with a high temperature of 74° and mostly sunny skies. Click the image to view the full-sized panorama.

Back Property Line Panorama

This is the image I was trying to get when I discovered the hedgehog cactus yesterday. I was standing (approximately) on the north property line. This image is looking toward the south. The south property line extends roughly from the trash barrel on the road at the left to the fence behind the trailer on the right. Click on the image to enlarge.
