Re: Dizzy...I'm so dizzy my head is spinning

[URL=http://antwrp.gsfc.nasa.gov/apod/ap061202.html]like a whirlpool it never ends -- and it's this pic making me spin[/URL]

It's definitely one of the more striking "star trails" photos I've seen.  Mountain peak really set it off.  South celestial pole.  Seeing this reminded me of that cute '60s song "Dizzy" ... one of my favorites. 

Taken atop the world's highest active volcano.

p.s.:  Looks like you could dash right up to that mountain peak and leap into the center of the star trails -- and wind up going through a time portal or something.
