The radio telescope at the CSIRO Observatory in Parkes, New South Wales.

The main telescope pictured here has a 64 metre diameter dish and has been in use since the early 1960s. Apart from its normal role in radio astronomy the telescope has been used as a communications base station for many NASA missions (Huygens, Cassini, Galileo, Voyager and Mariner) and perhaps most famously the 1969 moon landing.

I am a photographer based in Sydney, Australia. I shoot mostly landscapes but include the occasional urban, flora and fauna shots for good measure. My photographs in these collections were taken in Australia, New Zealand, United Kingdom, Iceland and USA. Please note that watermarks do not appear on printed images.
