Looks like a long climb before sunrise.

Beautiful sunrise in Masada. I did that climb years ago and got some shots there as well with rays of light over the Dead Sea.
That was a memorable experience over all. You start the climb at like 4am. |

Am i understanding that it will function with weight transfer just like a segway?

It works just like a normal Segway, lean forward to go forward, lean backward to stop or back up. The handle is used to steer. The other handle deploys the outriggers when you stop and put it into standby for mounting and dismounting. ![]() Ally complete by lennycarl08, on Flickr |

Sweet Ride! Looking forward to hearing (seeing) how well it rumbles off road.

Wonderful light on the Garden of the Gods. I need to get down there more often.

I was asked to shoot a VIP tour of the personal observatory that a retired professor from our university has set up in his yard. I was not prepared for the incredible array of huge telescopes he has. These are just two. The "small" one in the foreground has a 42" mirror. The larger one pointing straight up through the roof of the building behind has a 50" mirror waiting to be mounted. It will be the largest privately owned telescope in the world, if I'm not mistaken. I'll post a larger write-up with more pics later.

Here's a shot I took of the moon from his yard using my paltry 400 5.6 and 1.4x TC. He lives way out in the boonies, so it was nicely dark. It's also chilly tonight, so the air is dry. One of the prof's friends had a normal observation telescope with a 36" mirror set up. the detail on the moon you could see through that was astounding. Sadly, he had no adapter for a camera. I was stuck with my rig for moonshots.

One more for now. Here are his four observatory buildings and telescopes. Remember, this is a hobbyist. Makes me feel like I've not spent so much on my gear. ![]()

That "weed" looks like a "bee plant" that we have in Colorado. Most areas have hundreds of varieties of bees that feed on very specific varieties of plants.
Mark, great moon shot. Shows what clear air will do.
