Good post.. sky is clearing.. gonna take the kids out on a drive at 10pm to see what we can see.. (lucky accy is surrounded by countryside) . The sky on a clear night with no light polution is something that many people never see.. The difference between being in a dark dark area and a populated ares to view a clear sky is somehting I could only describe as phenomenal.. when you see the millions of stars.. the swirls and colours... somehting everyone should see but saldy don't


karm left :)
