On Saturday Marie and I drove up the Angeles Crest Highway to Mount Wilson Observatory. It's a scenic drive up a winding road.

I was pleased that my National Parks pass gave us free parking.
There are many communications towers up there. I was surprised to read that your remote car opener may not work very well because of radio interference. You can work around this by holding it over the left rear window (on a car) or front window (truck).
There are six telescopes on Mt. Wilson connected by light tubes. You can read about this remarkable technology on the observatory website.
I have a few more pictures that I'll put in the next post.

Nice to see that you are still active on your blog Linda. I noticed that a lot of bloggers from 'the old days' have stopped blogging. Keep up the good work, I love your photography!!
