the sky on the way home from work

The rather impressive sky during my drive home from work this evening.  It's the end of days!!!!

the super moon in march and in germany

I was thinking about the Super Moon (or, if you prefer, a Perigee-Syzygy) that happened in March, and was reminded that when l was younger, and living in Bielefeld, Germany, myself and some friends decided to camp out for the night (tent wise - not going to gay bars). At about 6am (at a guess), some of us went for a walk as we couldn't sleep. We were strolling and chatting along a wide path between some trees, when a large object appeared in the sky in front of us, with a yellowy/reddish colour. I realise now that it must have been a Super Moon, but for many years l thought l may have imagined it, as l have never seen the moon so large again. This would have been in about 1971. So, to conclude. I am not mad, l just have a crap memory (and it sure did look impressive).
By the way, that was also the same walk where l thought l saw a ghost (of my grandmother amongst some trees), but that l do think l imagined. I was probably just seeing shapes in the trees, as l was young, and would have been pretty tired. Or maybe l am mad.

the sky at night

Two shots of the night sky from outside work. The colours have not been altered in any way, the second picture was just a slightly later time.
You'd think l had nothing better to do, and no work to be getting on with.

two moons this morning

This blurred image is off two moons l could see outside of the work place at about 5.30am this morning. The middle bit is the flash from the camera (I think, l only saw the two moons). This sort of picture could make my (long awaited) fortune. Hurrah!!!!

another northern lights picture

Another great picture of the Northern Lights, taken by Ole Christian Salomonsen in Norway. I don't think l will ever get bored of seeing photographs of them.
