    Windy HF Antenna by ted Brattstrom from the GigaPan Field Day by ted Brattstrom

    While some of this is alignment and stitching issues, we also had a pretty good breeze going on - that lead to some swaying of the antenna and mast! (a Triband antenna for 10-15-20M)

    The Big Sandy River - with water! by ted Brattstrom from the GigaPan Horned Lizard Ranch 2 by ted Brattstrom

    Here's a bit of the Big Sandy River - complete with a trickle of water in it.

    At times, it's completely dry - occasionally, it's a raging torrent. Since the road crosses the river 3 times, it is occasionally a challenge getting places!

  37. Chondrules

    Chondrules by ted Brattstrom from the GigaPan Barratta Meteorite Thin Section by ted Brattstrom

  38. Chondrules

    Chondrules by ted Brattstrom from the GigaPan Barratta Meteorite Cross Polarized Thin Section by ted Brattstrom

    Alll of these round objects, with colored fragments within are chondrules. Most of these contain olivine as their main component.

    Chondrule formation occured during the very early stage of the solar system formation - so, when you are holding a chondrite, you are holding one of the oldest rocks around - about 4.5 billion years old.

    cool!
