Away from it all

Away from it all
Sometimes we just want to escape the world. Get away from this dreadful Pandemic, away from unnatural weather cycles, politics, away from football even, so it was good for me to see a very rare night of stars. I am here in North Lancashire only a few metres from our rented holiday cottage at 30 minutes past midnight looking south east with the lights of Kirby Lonsdale on the horizon. Its still quite light even though there is almost no moon at all. I was looking for the Milky Way and there is just a hint right of centre here with the other two stripes being just wispy clouds. For me a moment of peace and isolation -for a change. ~ A panorama of six portrait wide angle shots here.

Enjoy too -in full screen.

Keep safe. Herb

Its great To see northern stars in the Sky . The big killer is the norther long summer nights that never give you a dark night. this shot has come out so well that you can see the Milky way just faintly in the Sky which is what you would expect .

here I am faced with total cloud cover and rains not quite a usual sky's but we have to live with it. so far 3 weeks and it looks like we have two more to go before we have any chance of seeing any stars or nebula's.

never for one min think these photos dont matter they do most in the UK would not even give this a go you have and you have the stunning results to prove it. keep trying you will get the chance one day when it all falls into place.
