The sky looks like dawn in this overexposed shot... here you can see the angled ladder up the base and the access hatch into the base of the dish.

I love that dish. It's sooo gorgeous up there. It's just something you have to experience.

i really do wish i could still go up in the dish just once more before i leave maryland. i found out to late.... it was gone before i could see it one last time. it looks like a volcano without the dish. they chopped it off right after the wrap around ladder.

thousands of memories and good nights at this place.

i personally want to know why they tore it down besides saftey issues (i mean common, wtf are they gonna use the land for), who did it and who bought/owned it.

tink was here.

We had a similar dish array in a place where I lived and they took it down. It was low to the ground and grass still doesn't grow there. I bet this dish had a huge radiation signature and could have still been dangerous.
