And I know that you are enjoying being with your sister for real quality time.

In Murrumbateman we used to get amazing views of the Milky Way but I’m sure what you are seeing is even more incredible. There are so many stars visible that it is difficult to get your bearings.

I have been thinking about you lately too and wondering when you’ll be in email contact again.

Hugs Donna

Just wondering why ravens are evil-looking? I think they are gorgeous birds, the way the colours change in their feathers…

It isn’t their fault Hollywood has corrupted their image!

When I was in the Navy in the middle of the ocean on moonless nights the sky just blazed with starlight. You could also clearly see meteors and satellites.

Thanks for the great pictures and commentary. I felt like I was taking a holiday with you.

Fantastic sight. I also saw the Aurora Borealis whilst up thataway too. Another sight worth seeing.

I am vicariously enjoying your trip Glenda and thanks so much for sharing the wonderful pictures with us. Although I think you could have kept the ravens LOL

It was amazingly beautiful, and remarkable just how little we really see of the night sky due to light pollution.

It’s a strong argument for living far, far away from a city!
