What Strange Land...


What strange land is this? Who are these strange creatures? It is Two AM and I have just come in from a night's observing at the Stellafane Convention of amateur telescope makers. People set up their telescopes during the day, when they can see, and then cover them with these mylar covers to protect them from dust, and to keep them cool by reflecting the sun. At night the covers are removed and the telescopes are at the right temperature. I just thought the scene was other-worldly so I spent a few minutes photographing the telescope field before finding this shot.
