Answer:  To get to the other side. What? Did you expect something profound?

I recently purchased the above CaptureView binocular-camera from Radio Shack. The pictures on this page are examples of what the camera can do. Quality isn't as good as my Kodak D-5000, but for what it is and does, it's a fun imaging tool to work with!  The viewing area is equivalent to using a 400 mm lens on a 35mm camera.  One thing to remember, as with a long lens on a SLR camera, you must watch out for camera shake or movement when shooting.  You have to be very braced with taking pictures....

We have lots of antelope running through the fields around Prescott Valley.  As more and more homes and fences go up, the poor critters have more difficulty going from area to area in search of food and water.  I wondered how they managed to cross the tall fences.  I had my theory, but these shots prove how they go about their daily travels with skill and ease.
