This is The Lovell Telescope at Jodrell Bank, Goostrey, Cheshire in North-west England. In 1955, when it was built, it was the biggest fully-steerable radio telescope in the world. It is still the 3rd biggest even after all this time. It is a wonder to look at as it rises above The Cheshire Plain. It is my entry in the latest competition.

Perfect contest entry, it looks so massive, and everything around it seems so small. :) Tigs♥ =^..^=

"Never stop photographing. It is very likely that your best photograph has not yet been captured"
A perfect shot and a perfect entry Steve. It looks grand against that sky.

Smooth seas do not make skilful sailors.
I've been a backyard astronomer for years and a devotee of images of multiple and overlapping lines since I first discovered I could see and understand books, so this one is ideal in my mind. While it is a bit grainy, probably because of the overcast gray light, it's Lines and Curves we're looking for here and this one is an excellent choice for the contest. I like how the man in the foreground gives one a (false) sense of the scale but a closer examination reveals the windows and levels in that elevated control room (?) on the right gives a more proper scale. That, and following your link and learning the dish is 250' across. Oy! Good luck in the contest. -Nik

If you've ever wanted to make a difference but found it hard to believe that one person could... check out the Kiva Team Caedes discussion thread and discover that anything is possible.
Considering how big TV's were back then (valves, vacuum tubes) and how much energy they used, and now you can have a TV on a watch, it makes you wonder if the Jodrell Bank telescope could do the same job with a dustbin lid?
