I saw the Pleiades from the cliffs in North Cornwall in mid August - I thought the whole thing was amazing
my children had just returned from the wilderness in Northern Ontario and were still full of the wonders of Milky Way and more common-or-garden shooting stars (if there can be such a thing), so didn't think much of the event
someone else was blogging about The P's (watching them from a trampoline) and a commenter who lives in the American nothingness was more excited about the traompoline than the meteorites
Oo-er, I quite like architectural lighting (on beautiful architecture) and think urban conurbations have their own charms at night.
ReplyDeleteAnd me an otherwise-environmentalist and all, tut tut.
But the stars are lovely as well of course and living just outside the ringroad in my own city, I'm lucky enough to get a jolly good view of them too.
Ironic though, all this lighting, just when the nation's supposed to be getting greener.
