The "counterpoint" to it is the image for our star party in California... the Golden State Star Party. Click the button in the image and look carefully... URL is in my signature...

I have a "monolith" exactly like that one in my storage shed. And i move slow and apelike around it in the dark. That helps to prevent accidents.
