Trying to be a bit creative in capturing the view from on top of Ubehebe volcanic crater.
I would have preferred to not have been holding the crystal ball, but did not trust setting
this up on the edge of the crater. Plus, I am holding onto this a bit weirdly because I
quickly learned that you do not want to have any body parts on the side of the crystal ball
opposite the Sun --- this thing does an extremely effective job of focusing the sunlight into
an intense focal point that will burn you very quickly. That lesson most likely resulted from
bad Karma gathered during my youth with a magnifying glass and ants.
