The VLA

[MrGxr]

Remember the movie "Contact" with Jodie Foster... well part of the filming was done at the Very Large Array (VLA) located just outside Magdelana, NM.

Today I road out there with a Friend. We needed to get away from life for a little while... both pretty stressed out with whats happening in our lives right now.

Enjoy the pictures of the VLA and surrounding area.

Antelope ran across the road while riding into the VLA

One person standing in front of each of these and you can whisper to each other and hear clearly. Pretty kewl.
