I went out to try deep space photography(you can see the computer screen in the trees on the right) and to be able to get the Milky Way on the Western track. You certainly cant miss the Perth Light plume.

Elise Followed me out as I took the shots but was surprised to see her in the shot.

Herb far to long between drinks for me but I was happy to get out and see the place and its potential. You know well this is my kind of photography and some thing I totally enjoy and to get a shot like this is all down to planning and thought.

HFF I hope you keep safe as we see here what is happening in the rest of the world , makes us feel very lucky to be as free as we are.

Elise was laying almost at my feet and did not expect to get her in shot but that's how wide a 14mm lens is. the place will get a few visits that's for sure. HFF from the outback of the west. you keep healthy in these times.

Hi Steve

A very nice picture, which I am so impressed with.

Fantastic clear sky! We never get to see anything like this over here...

And you got a fence in for Friday too!

Best Wishes, HFF, a nice weekend, and stay safe!!

Thank you Peter we are just so lucky to be bless with clear skies from pollution as well not as bad a UK thats for sure. I think it better the fence is in half light so the Barb wire is not seen, HFF I hope you have a great weekend and in the troubled time that we all face you keep yourself safe.
