Moonlight

Resting in Peace
Overlooker
:e29: By the light of the silvery moon :e29: Have you noticed how beautiful the moon has been over the last few nights of clear skies. Came down in the morning thinking left my lights on, but not always like this is it ?
Makes me wonder how we would go on without our wonderful street lighting and if anybody out there remembers a time when areas were not lit, or indeed, not lit at the moment. Pretty scarey I guess.
And before anybody asks .. no have not found any unwanted hairs on my pillow in the morning.

me missus remarked on the moon last night, remember when you struggled to see it this time of year(fog) which seems to have virtually vanished these days! By the light of the silvery moon; little richard did a cracking version of that,lol:)
 
Nothing like I lovely moon rise at this time of year. Its a pity I dont see it untill it clears the refinery skyline and steam.
 
The night sky is wonderful at the moment. One of the few good things about a clear night at this time of year.

If it wasnt for the refinery in the way I might have been able to get some cracking shots. There is just too much steam and smoke to allow it that and the "candles" at full pelt.

Sorry Sara the candles are the flare stacks at the petro-chemical complex up here. When they are burning they sound like a jet engine and turn the sky an orange colour. Tried once befor to take a moon photo but the refinery emmisions and light made a mess of it.

You want to see the state of the street lighting in Cyprus - comical compared to England - but hell wot a night sky you get as a result!! Which is a GOOD thing...

Yes Very Clear Air This Week I Can Cast My Mind Back To The 1950-60s All You EVER GOT WAS A YELLOW FOG WHICH WAS SMOKE FROM THE 1000S OF COAL FIRES IN THE ACCRINGTON AREA AT THE TIME

Find an unlit area. A park or out in the country. Turn off your car lights then look up on a clear night. If you have never done this before then be prepared for a shock. It is not as you would expect. It is not millions of silver dots. It is a swirling colours of red and yellow and the like. You have to see it to understand or even believe it exists like that. Anyone seeing it for the first time will believe it to be the most awesome thing they have ever seen.

Amazing that so many have not seen it. Get somewhere with no lights. pitch black. then come back here and tell us all about it. Do it tonight.

I take it you don't live in Hyndburn the streets round my area don't have many lights working, but hey, that doesn't matter after all we can see them during the daytime.
