Visibility III / V

Esko Lehtiniemi, Lakeuden Ursa

It was worth going outside again to blink at the sky. At first I didn’t believe my eyes, but after a moment of wonder, doubts began to recede. Camera and tripod highlighted and not shooting. When I got on the plane, I noticed that other observations had already been reported.

Hyvin on selvät pilvet. Tähtiäkin alkaa kuvissa näkyä. Itse nukuin nämä pilvet ohi.

Hienoja kuvia.

Minäkin olen viime päivinä huomannut, kuinka alkaa tähtiä näkyä ihan kunnolla. Syksy on tulossa, mutta on tässä vielä kesää jäljellä. :)
