back in Nerva... home movies :)

[jay]

More later on today's time in Portugal... for now, here are some home movies from the past week (each 3MB...):

http://www.lithic.net/images/Spain04/alhambra.AVI is sideways at first, from the visit a week ago, and shows the interior of one chamber. At the beginning, one can see patgreene (black T-shirt) and dawnd (straw hat) in the background.

http://www.lithic.net/images/Spain04/ROtest.AVI is a panorama last Tuesday from the hilltop test site, showing the repeater site, truck and satellite ground station, commercial drill in use, and the area.

And then, from today's trip home:
http://www.lithic.net/images/Spain04/cromlech.AVI is from the center of a Stonehenge-like circle of menhirs (actually, a double circle) estimated at about 6-8000 years old. The white town is Evora, about 12 km distant. I'm standing on what I think of as an altar, a big triangular flat rock pointing due east.

nifty footage.

interesting side-note, I'd not realised how "preprogrammed" one's brain is to accept clockwise movement as being "correct". The third clip took me aback when you panned left (anticlockwise) around the circle.

or maybe it's just my brain ;-)

thanks for sharing those.

You're welcome ;) Maybe it was some mystical influence on my sense of direction (smile)... more likely, just habit (the "right-hand rule").
