Older, but no wiser

Photos of skies rarely capture the scale; the firmament loses something in the translation down to postcard size - although this one of Doug Thompson's must come pretty close to the feel of the original.

Skies really need to fill your field of vision, as they do in reality. A classic case of the whole being so much greater than the sum of the parts.

qB also though tonight's sky worth photographing. Her vantage point was just a few miles further south (I think).
