Greenbank WV has the largest movable ground telescope in the
world, and it is so sensitive that it can pick up the firing of a
spark plug in a car engine from a mile away. Anyone nearby wishing to put in
a satellite dish or any other radio technology that might disrupt the
telescope, must get special permission.
Greenbank is within about 15 miles of Snowshoe. Both
Snowshoe and Greenbank lie in the Pokahontus county WV, which has
thousdands of square miles of area, but only 9,000 residents -- too few
for even fast food restaurants and chain shopping centers.

I recently traveled to India (Sept. 2010, Chennai). Here are a
few photos: First is a photo of a gazebo
in the center courtyard of the Mathematical Sciences Institute there, which
has a chalkboard and chairs for people to relax and test out their ideas;
second is a photo of a bust statue at the
Theosophical Society in Chennai; and the last few are photos of ancient
Hindu temples (well, dating back to about 700 AD) at Mahabalipuram:
