Hmmm, very tempting.
Is there a song in this perhaps...  I could put him: "Loosely in the Sky with Doug-the-man" Nah! Now that's too much! Astro0 |

I came across this thread a few days ago. This looks to be quite a lot of fun. Astro0, I don't know if this would be too much trouble, considering the encroaching water. I can easily find or compose a different shot, so let me know if you would like something different. I was scanning through available images and came across this one.
I've always thought that prospecting on a virgin planet, where all of the good stuff had not already been harvested by previous generations of collectors would be a most amazing experience. When I spotted this picture of me panning for gold while on a recent trip to Alaska, it seemed to be the right one for me. It has been nice to connect some faces with the people here...

Hey Nico,
If you make that image negative, you get a more authentic "Mars Look" Brian -------------------- "There are 10 types of people in the world - those who understand binary code, and those who don't."

Tom:
At last! A picture of someone with a frying pan at the BBQ! Or is it the High-Gain Antenna, cruelly ripp'd asunder from poor ol' almost-hibernating Punxsutawney Bill, er Spirit? And as for Doug - eh oh! Bob Shaw -------------------- Remember: Time Flies like the wind - but Fruit Flies like bananas!

Bob: A single drop of grease in that pan would likely mess up my panning efficiency.
 Bill: Good idea. What we really need about now is a good mechanic on site. Dan: I'm certain Astro can arrange it, but do we really want to see it?

Will the party ever end?!
Here's the BBQ in progress...  Larger image here - 179k From left to right: Dilo Ustrax + Lhoba Stu Tesheiner Spirit Steve Squyres ngunn PhilCo126 + child Michael Capobianco CosmicRocker AstroPhil Lyford remcook Rakhir climber hendric + child Tim Demko James Canvin Emily Bob Shaw Phil Stooke I know there's still lots of UMSF'ers still to arrive via Photoshop transport beam... AndyG, Marsloon, ExploitCorporations, ElkGroveDan, TheMessenger, Bill Harris and dvandorn (the other Doug). Where's THE Doug? I hope that he won't be too late to the BBQ. After all he's the one who brought us all together in the first place. I'm sure I'll figure out the timer on my camera so I can get in the picture too. Enjoy Astro0 PS: Please note that the newly linked images will change the shots placed in previous posts in this thread. |

AstroO:
Just for fun, when the image is complete why not make an animated .gif to show the process of everyone arriving? It needn't be a big image. Bob Shaw -------------------- Remember: Time Flies like the wind - but Fruit Flies like bananas!
