Stars

This section was one of the highlights of my trip. To be able to get away from it all and be completely isolated from the material dependancies of back home, and to just soak it all in for an hour was a blessing. David, my dad, Pieter and I just drifted around in the village that night, guided by the brilliance of the stars.

Now the photos that follow were taken on my tripod when it was completely dark... So if you want to view these properly, turn of all surrounding light and let your eyes adjust. I am hesitant to even post them because the light background of the blog will take away from the distinctness... unfortunately they are best seen in a slideshow on my laptop. But you should be able to see the milky way as well as the Southern Cross in some (a diamond shaped constellation only visible in the southern hemisphere) in all their unedited splendor... hope you enjoy them as much as I did
