At 0.75 miles deep and more than 2.5 miles wide, the Brigham Canyon copper mine in Salt Lake City is the largest human excavation project in the world. Looks pretty sweet in gigapan too! Check out the "tiny" trucks going up the road on the far side. They are carrying about 250 tons of rock on tires that are about 10 feet high. |

CIRES heads to Lake Dillon, drinking supply for the Denver Metro Area, to test water quality. To get to the water, researchers trekked the frozen lake and had to drill through more than a foot of ice. On this trip researchers also gathered water samples that will be analyzed for the presence of pharmaceuticals, a prospect of growing concern in the scientific community. Water treatment facilities currently can't treat water for drugs, the effects of which are uncertain. |

This is a small section of the recently established communal garden located at the Oxford Community Arts Center, and it isprimarily used for teaching children many things about life through interactive gardening programs. It is a wonderful and growing resource for the community. |

I constructed this group portrait for http://GigaPanMagazine.org Volume 2, Issue 1.
See also http://gigapan.org/gigapans/11192/ and http://gigapan.org/gigapans/9435/ for context. The tiny Happy Face Spiders (HFS) are denizens of Hawaii's cool rain forests, generally above 3000' (900 meters). The middle row shows a female HFS with her clutch of eggs. The next three images were taken about 6 weeks later: second from left is the same individual who was guarding her eggs; the next image shows the relative size of the spiders, and the right hand image shows the keiki (baby) spiders. The remainder show other patterns from Mount Ka`ala, O`ahu. The color patterns vary between islands. You can see one spider having a meal, and a couple of others with eggs. Most of the color patterns have been named. From the top row, left to right: black stripe (not very original), big grin (a First Lady variant), a Charlie Chan variant, Lei Lehua, another Chan variant. Middle row, the "First Lady", the first HFS described and photographed after their rediscovery on Mount Ka`ala in the late 1960's. Bottom row: a third "First Lady" variant, another Lei Lehua variant - munching on an introduced bark louse, Groucho, and the Clown. All photos copyright Richard Palmer, 2010. |
