These 60 foot diameter parabolic dish antennas are part of the Table Mountain Radio Receiving Zone (TMRZ) on a 1,700 acre U.S. government site west of Longmont, Colorado. Built in the 1950's they are relics of the Cold War and don't seem to be used anymore. This photo was taken on June 15, 2021.

Equipment used: Canon EOS Rebel T5i with a standard zoom lens (EF-S 18-55 mm).
