In the Forum Get-together discussion there was a suggestion made to meet in Arizona so that a field trip to the Barringer crater could be done. That got me to thinking about how Barringer compares to Victoria, and the following image is what hatched. Both images are presented at the same scale, with North UP.
Enjoy! --Bill -------------------- |

I had imagined Victoria as much larger. I've walked the entire rim of Barringer. It's a long walk, but I don't consider it to be all that large. -------------------- If Occam had heard my theory, things would be very different now.

Is there a posibility? -------------------- The scientist does not study nature because it is useful; he studies it because he delights in it, and he delights in it because it is beautiful.

QUOTE (Toma B @ Dec 25 2005, 03:55 PM) ...and you do have some images taken...right? Here are a few that I found. I'll have to dig up the rest. Please pardon any dust, these are scans of slides. They were all shot awith a 28mm lens so imagine the crater walls somewhat steeper than they look here. Let me know if you want to see one of these in higher res.

BTW, those images are somewhat old aren't they? -------------------- The scientist does not study nature because it is useful; he studies it because he delights in it, and he delights in it because it is beautiful.

QUOTE (Toma B @ Dec 26 2005, 03:33 PM) BTW, those images are somewhat old aren't they? Yes, how could you tell? It was March 31, 1988. Photos were taken on Kodachrome 64.

QUOTE (Toma B @ Dec 26 2005, 05:20 PM) You are joking right? No I'm serious. I remember the date well and why I was travelling that week. I had a horrible hangover that morning. I met some truckers on my CB radio the day before and when they learned it was my 27th birthday and I had been dumped by a longtime girlfriend the week before, they inisisted that I stop in Winslow, Arizona with them and celebrate all night long to help me forget my troubles. I had fun, but boy was I sick the next day. -------------------- If Occam had heard my theory, things would be very different now.

And look at it this way: The ex-girlfriend is long gone, but the crater still remains. And which one are you sharing picture of with us now? See, all that really matters is the Cosmos. 
-------------------- "After having some business dealings with men, I am occasionally chagrined,
and feel as if I had done some wrong, and it is hard to forget the ugly circumstance. I see that such intercourse long continued would make one thoroughly prosaic, hard, and coarse. But the longest intercourse with Nature, though in her rudest moods, does not thus harden and make coarse. A hard, sensible man whom we liken to a rock is indeed much harder than a rock. From hard, coarse, insensible men with whom I have no sympathy, I go to commune with the rocks, whose hearts are comparatively soft." - Henry David Thoreau, November 15, 1853 |
