Hi all,

Sorry for the OT post but I stumbled upon this image while cleaning up my hard drive. It was taken a couple summers ago on a moony night with my then new Canon10D. There were lots of fast moving high clouds with lots of sucker holes, the moon made them very bright, it was a pretty sight!!

cheers

Mike W

Hi Mike,

what a fascinating view! Looks like the skies opened up only to show Lyra. Great!

Cheers,
Oliver

Hi Mike,

That is a very unique image, it's kind of spooky looking I almost expect to see a witch flying by on a broom smile

That has got to be one of the prettiest pics that I've seen in a while. 8O cwy (weeping for joy) Do you mind if I save it to my hard drive?
