GranTeCan (Grand Telescopio Canario / Big Canarian Telescope) at sunset.
Some six weeks ago I got permission to take sunset photos at the observatory. But one way and another, there was always something that stopped me going: I was ill, or my husband got home late, or the the air was full of Sahara dust and the sunset would be lousy. Yesterday I finally got up to the Roque at sunset. I was pretty happy with the photos I got.
I wanted to put a human being in for scale, and since I was on my own, I used the delay timer and ran into the shot.
I'm not at all fit. I'm not used to sprinting, and up at the Roque, there's only 75% of the usual oxygen.
I pulled a muscle in my rear. It hurts.
And this is NOT FUNNY!

I promise I'm not laughing, or if I am, it's only because I do something similar every time I leave the house. The photo was really worth it though.
