Things are looking down or, perhaps more appropriately, I'm looking down on things.
Western Libya, 1990, and four Birdwagen Mark III's with Failing Y1100 vibrators approach the bottom of the escarpment. The scar left by the bulldozer can be seen stretching away to the haze in the distance.
I can't recall why the line bent but bends such as these would degrade the quality of the resulting section of that part of the line.
We're recording with a Sercel 348. At 100% you can see that the line is just to the right of the right-most vibrator. At 100%, you can see the white telemetry boxes and, in the foreground, the red cables linking the boxes.
The pad marks from the vib pattern are clearly evident in this image, looking like ladders extending out behind the vibs.
Over on the left in the distance is the recording truck, or ‘Dog Box'. I don't think I ever learned the origin of that term. That was the field command center for the recording operation and, next to the meat locker in the camp, the coldest space on the crew. Electronics are more reliable when they're cold.
The boulders in the background, beyond the dog box, are the boulders seen in front of the vibs in the ‘Jebel Shaking‘ image I posted yesterday.
