Pictures from 1999 Tien Shan Installation: Harajun (Xinjiang)

Some general comments on the pictures from 1999


Harajun

Figure 1.Restaurant in Harajun were we stopped for lunch a couple of times. The chef is at the stove. Very Large
Figure 2. Restaurant scene in Harajun. The guy in the back is stretching dough to make noodles. The steps are stretch, twist, compact, and repeat. This batch eventually became our lunch. Very Large
Figure 3.At the Harajun site behind the secondary offices. The Guralp CMG3ESP in the hole and ready for final installation. Very Large
Figure 4.The back of the office building. Seismometer hole is in the foreground. Cables go through the window from the hole and the roof to the DAS/Disk/batteries inside. Very Large
Figure 5.The roof at Harajun, showing solar panels and GPS. Two of the solar panels in the rear are on one of our nice prefab frames (make by Da Wong in Aksu), the others on a "bent on site" frame. The GPS antenna is under the small protective housing at the back left corner. View to the north. Very Large
Figure 6.View from the roof to the south. The building in this picture is the main town offices, which seemed a bit too busy for any reasonable signal to be recorded. The backs of the solar panels are visible. Not much rock in sight, unfortunately. Very Large
Figure 7.The entrance to the secondary offices where we installed the station. Yours Truly and Xiao Zhong at the right. The other guys are town officials. Very Large
Figure 8.A veiw of the front of the secondary offices from about 100 m to the east. The bus at the left obviously had not been moved for several years. Very Large
