MONO MONDAY (GOONHILLY EARTH STATION).


Did not manage to get a new image for the series this week, so have returned to the archive with this shot of a satellite dish from the Goonhilly Earth Station on the Lizard.
Quite a few of the dishes have been dismantled as technology has moved on from when they were first erected in the 1960's .

  1. Good shot Monty! I admit though that I find monstrosities, whoops, I mean structures ;-) like that very intimidating. I always hated walking by those huge electricity pylons as a child and can't say I like them any better now...

  2. Hi - Is that Goonhilly1, aka Arthur later on - and can you tell me the date that photo was taken? I'm doing some research… Thanks! countrymoosie at gmail dot com
