And, probably the last star trail in a while. I did two last night, and so the second one will probably be a back up while recovering from shoulder surgery. For when the only images I can come up with is with the camera sitting next to me on the couch with the timer remote in one hand and nothing in the other hand, and CLICK! Just to get a nonsense shot! What ever it takes to get this 365 done! I am NOT backing out over a little surgery! :D
Any way, let me tell you about my night last night! I knew I wanted to head up the hill, to Julian. Let me tell you something, out there alone, in the dark, CREPPY! I was actually planning on staying until 3 am, and then leaving just in time to get to work! But I did not last 5 minutes past midnight! Next time, it will have to be a star party with others, because I don't think I want to do that alone again! Seriously! So, this was from the first stop, just past the town of Julian. There was an RV there, blocking the crosses that were up there, so I could not use them as a foreground element. These trees did just find. And when that RV left and when there was a second car that drove by, they lit the trees quite nicely! AND, as you can tell, there were some clouds in the area. I made that trip to see if Julian had a better view of the stars then my back yard, to TRY to capture the elusive shooting starts, but as you can see, my visibility was limited due to the wispy clouds. Which was another reason why I left when I did, because why bother sticking around for meteors, if the sky is not clear? OFF I went! But not before capturing this 69 image shot of the stars from Julian!
Geek talk:
A total of 69 images, all of which are:
30 seconds long
ISO 1250
f/3.5
AND, as far as I can tell here, no meteor shots in this one.

Day 310
So in a space of about 24 hours (Possibly less) we've had a new torrent of snow hit the UK.
As always my internet was not my bestfriend and I had to use my phone...the train service website was down!! Of all days, after much faffing around I ended up taking the day off as a "snow day". The last time I ever had a snow day was probably back when I was in Sixth Form and I actually made my way to school only to be told it was going to be closed...*sigh*
So I shovelled snow from our driveway and back garden...got bored and channel flicked...got bored and watched Gilmore Girls for like 2 hours straight...I can NEVER be bored of the Gilmore Girls!!
I hope everyone is alright in flickrdom.
