Lake Dowerin

On the night of new moon Perth was under clouds so we drove due east this is about 2 1/2 hours from home. we are standing on the edge of a salt Lake with a road the runs through the middle of it to the right next to top of horizon you can see the water when we got there venus was reflected on the water but you have to walk out in the soft mud to get there next to the edge of the water so we all gave that a miss.

David is like Me shooting middle of shot, Carl is walking down from the car follow the headlight he is wearing further to the right. Have you met Carl and David before




The sky was black but for the lights of the small town out in the wheat field area. in this shot is the lights of the town of Northham. The dead trees at the edge of the road was out main target with the Milky way behind.

The Emu is well over the shot...for those that cant see it see below...

It was very cold and I got to 7 layers of clothing the temp dropped to 5c and it also was dew fall that can cause a very bad dew on the lens. I got home finally at 1:45 am and jumped into bed.
