Here's a panorama of my place taken from Calle de la Manzana.

Figure 5.  Panorama extending from east (left edge), showing my car at the driveway entrance, to the south in the middle of the panorama, where you can see my house behind mesquite trees, and ending looking west, where you can barely make out my nearest neighbor's house.

Figure 6.  This is one frame (reduced in size and quality) from the above panorama. The double garage is clearly visible, as is the west end.  The front entrance is behnd mesquite trees.

Figure 7.  This and the following pictures are poor quality because they were scanned from a printout of an image in a multiple listing web page.  This one shows the front entrance (looking southwest). The garage is on the left. When you visit me you'll be staying in the bedroom to the left of the entrance.  My bedroom is to the right of the entrance.

Figure 8.  Looking southeast from my house roof toward my "sliding roof observatory" (SRO).  The roof open, showing the Meade LX200 10-inch Schmidt-Cassegrain telescope.  Note two conduits that go underground; one provides electrical poser to the SRO and the other contains 4 cables with "signal cables" for controlling the telescope and equipment.  The signal cables are 100 feet long and go to my house office. The SRO is on an 8x10 foot concrete slab.  A sidewalk goes from the hosue to the east SRO entrance.

More pictures, emphasizing my "observatory," can be found at SRO.

Figure 9.  View from the patio, looking at the mountains to the west. The Huachuca Mountains are 5 miles away.

Figure 10.  Inside view of living showing fireplace, looking south.
