Another Balmy Night
Happy New Year! I started off this year in a tent under the stars, although I finished it under a roof. This time.
A couple of days ago a fellow traveller and I camped out atop the sea cliffs at Cape Hauy, Tasmania where it was amazingly calm and clear - pretty much unheard of in the roaring 40's. There is only the slightest layer of cloud/moisture in this photo which is why the stars are slightly fuzzy. Plus, southern hemisphere stars! Check out those clusters we never see in the north.
We had a great night watching the moon set, and the milky way rise along with some purple aurora australis! The scenery itself was pretty great as well - 200m cliffs plunging straight into the ocean, meters away from where we set up camp. Don't go sleep walking here ...
I hope your 2015 is filled with many starry skies, great friends and excellent adventures!
