Observatories

Nice composition. My only comment by your description you are seeing this as a literal thing. So you gave their names. But your picture transcends the documentary nature of this. Try seeing this as an art piece. Forget the literal, forget the place, forget the GPS coordinates. And see this as something far more. And then name it that emotional or artistic name.

Hi blansky,Thanks for the comments. What you say makes sense. Maybe if I waited until someone asked what they were? Although I was curious myself so I looked it up. The picture means more to me than a documentary. To me..the labels represent an unimaginable amount of labor, collaboration, dreams and sweat equity to make them happen. Not that I was involved but I appreciate effort in the shaping of natural material to the will of man. I find myself compelled to acknowledge that effort, which allowed me the opportunity to capture this photo.

Are the white spots in the sky stars or dust?

Dust. But think of them as "stars from the enlarger"
