Sky Watch Friday

Posted on July 10, 2009 by archiearchive FCD

A fully pregnant Selene climbed above the edge of the world on Tuesday night.

I was lucky enough to have a clear horizon and my camera as she rose.

A few little clouds gave the cracked appearance to her visage. Perhaps someone should introduce her to skin cream :)

    I watched it rise on Tue. too but did not want to frighten the horses by bringing ou the shotgun.
    Whaich of our deserts are you camped in, somewhere near lake Eyre whih is filling again? The birdlife htere apparently apparently is massive.
    Splendis moom shots, I like the way it distorts that low on the horizon,
    No, can’t be Lake Eyre, there are no trees theresbouts that I can remember. So is it the Simpson or The Great Victoria or just maybe the Gibson?
