Astronomical contrast

Astronomical contrast
Old-style sundial seen with "The Dish". The Parkes steerable dish remains one of the world's leading radio telescopes. It also was involved in tracking the first human moon landing. Somewhat later came a comedy film "The Dish" about that event - a musical clip is here. HFF!

Explored.

The fence is only playing a bit part, but I like your pairing and it is very artistic to go for a partial dish.

HFF George.

Loving the sharp focus on the sundial combined with the softer DOF on the more modern dish in the background! :)

Many thanks, everyone for your kind comments and faves. By way of interest, I heard that they now have tracked down a mystery source of microwaves - to an oven in the staff canteen! :-)
