As for my interpretation, it might take a bit of explanation. I am an Amateur Radio operator - a ham. My call sign is KC2HIZ. One of my hobbies is radio contesting - in particular, microwave radio contesting. I'm a member of the RPI Radio Club and one of the things the club likes to do is to carry a bunch of gear up to the summit of Mt Greylock, MA. We build these towers, then climb them and put these dishes on them. Actually, there are 6 other towers we set up but this was all I could fit into one frame! I'm on my tower, looking roughly southeast. What a view! For me, this is how I celebrate the start of summer.

Absolutely gorgeous. As it loaded on my phone screen, I was struck by how much it reminded me of a sky full of dirigibles!
ReplyDeleteNow this is a great way to celebrate and very helpful too!
ReplyDeleteShalom Buck. You climbed all the way up there?? With your big camera?! Wow, you deserve a prize for bravery AND for the most exciting and unique photo about celebrating summer.
ReplyDeleteI never heard of radio contesting and had to read about it. What fun!
I think being a ham and being a blogger go hand in hand.
That's a great view and incredible way of celebrating summer!
ReplyDeleteWell, I often do climb summits during the summer, but never lugging towers behind me! :-)
ReplyDeleteNow that's certainly unique! It looks like a great view but getting there isn't a proverbial walk in the park, is it? Enjoy that hard-earned vista...and the signals you'll get, too.
ReplyDeleteThis is one of the more unique celebrations of summer I've seen. Must be a lot of work, but glad to hear you enjoyed it!
ReplyDeleteWow! What an absolutely amazing thing to do!
