This is part of two solar arrays above the neighboring Glen Ivy Spiritual Center, making them the largest private solar energy source in Riverside County..
"The Solar Strider wanders the barren wastes of the west, a relic of an advanced age. Needing no sustenance save for the light of the sun, it appears to never deviate from its mission. The strider's purpose seems to have been lost to the winds however, eroded from history like the winds reduce the mightiest of boulders to mere grains of sand..."

So it's been over a year since I posted anything on Flickr, but that's not to say I haven't been active, and watching from the shadows...
For 2020, I hope to put out more builds than I did last year (which is to say, more than none), but only time will tell if that will ever happen.
In the meantime, here's a build that uses Dark Flesh / Metru Brown as its primary colour, which is not one you see all that often.
Happy New Year, and see you soon!
I used it to safely photograph the most recent solar eclipse in my area. It protected my lens perfectly.
A few clouds dance across the partial solar eclipse as seen from Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania.
I used a 400mm/f2.8 lens with a 2x tele extender on a Nikon 7100 DX crop body for a 1200mm effective focal length. I had to keep readjusting as the sun would quickly move out of my frame with that much "power".
I am sure there are lots of solar eclipse photos being shared so I thought I join in. I'm looking forward to seeing totality in 2024 in Erie, Pa.
Since I haven't been able to go take photos , I was checking some of my old photos and I decided to upload this one, enjoy !!
A seies of images taking during the "Great American Eclipse" of August 21st 2017. Our location was Greenville, South Carolina. Equipment used: Canon 7D with Tamron 150-600mm lens and solar filter sheet.
Installed her solar panels on the roof of the workshop. Notice the really dirty solar panel. The charge controller it was attached to, showed a lower voltage output, wonder why?. This proved to me that keeping them clean as possible will be a worthy investment in time spent cleaning.
Here's a crop showing the solar prominences, literally enormous loops of plasma that extend thousands of miles into space.
Lens is the 645 A* 600mm f/5.6 on the 645Z with a 1.4xTC. I removed the ND filter for totality.
I had a series of small mishaps which caused me to only capture a handful of exposures during totality, so stacking/blending was very limited. I did my best.
Hope you like it.
Sundogs highlight the circumference of a solar disk in the evening sky above the coastline at Clam Harbour Beach. The atmospheric phenomena of the disk and dogs is created by sunlight refracting through the droplets of water in the clouds. It's one of the more sublime occurrences in nature.
The solar panels where installed today and after inspection tomorrow we will be generating up to 80% of all our electricity

I was bird watching today and this eclipse totally photobombed my shot. - bah to celestial events,,,
Actually this silhouetted bird was a total accident that i only discovered when i was looking at the shots on the computer..
This is the first upload of a shot taken by my olympus EM10, i've been carrying it every day since it arrived, but it took an eclipse to remind me to use it - next time i'll pack a zoom lens instead of just 45mm!
CC always welcome...

(Solar eclipse : March 20th, 2015 ….. as it happened, yesterday, viewed from Aberlday Nature Reserve, South East Scotland. It turned out to be an unexpectedly clear sky. It was wonderful to be able to witness it.)
