Near Soccoro, New Mexico. This is the Very Large Array (VLA), an amazing set of radio telescopes. We were fortunate that they were offering an "open house" that day, so we were able to view the computers, etc in the control area, as well as walk around some of these awesome structures. They are managed from a railway specially constructed in the desert. Image processed with GIMP. VLA is near Socorro, New Mexico: public.nrao.edu/visit/very-large-array
