Six Storks (2026)

(Since it's hard to convey the scale of these antennas, please use the cute storks resting on them as reference... 😍)

Wide-format view of some of the different antennas at Raisting Earth Station just before sunrise. Five storks are resting on the top edge of one of the parabolic dishes on the left, another single stork is sitting on another antenna further back. Clear pale peachy sky gradient. A small corn field in the foreground.

A group of radio telescopes of different sizes (from small to very large, ~25 meters diameter) seemingly standing next to a corn field and some trees. Clear sky with a pink-blue gradient. The rising sun is illuminating a part of the largest telescope's dish.
