  4. Very well done photon~wave, and within 26 minutes of my posting no less. It was the geek tour of Silicon Valley sights.

    Slow and low, that is the tempo… The 400mm zoom gave me the oblique angle on Hoover’s last erection.

  5. Sweet, I have a pic of the same place from below…

  6. The EXIF data gave me the date the photo was taken, and that gave it away because on the same day you took this picture[http://www.flickr.com/photos/jurvetson/3605288599/in/datetaken/]

  7. Found it – the same tower at Stanford this July from below…just for fun…

  8. i was going to guess "with a camera."

  9. @twoeightnine… there’s a new angle! The obvious.

    I was going to guess with a rocket powered pogo-stick.

  10. Crossing my fingers and applying.
