Lunchtime Photo

Another triptych today. During the early part of my stay at City of Hope, while I was still mobile, I drove up to Mt. Wilson. I'd never been there before—when it was open, anyway—and it turned out to be a very serene place. It was a few acres of pine trees and telescopes but almost no people, so it was quiet and beautiful.

The top photo is the approach to the summit. The main observatory is the white dot dead center.

The middle photo is at the summit and shows the main observatory dome.

The bottom photo is the old 100-inch telescope itself. This is a composite shot: the roof of the dome is closed, but I painted in the star field just because I could. The entire photo is also a panorama. It took about nine shots stitched together to get the whole thing.
