Don’t the whales deserve a little privacy?

Filthy, Peeping-Tom biologists.

Radar operator, Low light level camera on the tracking radar for the SM 1 missle system. The point is the technology existed in the 1970’s for high definition viewing at a distance.

The sea was angry that day, my friends.

Like an old man sending back soup in a deli.

In Google Earth I can count the tiles on my roof. This is not so impressive.
