Pictures from you.

Ted in Hawaii sent a note and some cool pictures along.

Last Night was so Beautiful up on Koke'e/Mana Ridge which overlooks the NaPali Coast below and a gorgeous view of Niihau and Lehua. As the sky darkened the comet A3 started to visualize as my eyes adjusted. Can still see it with the naked eye, but the camera is the way to go to capture the essence of this part of our universe. Here are nine pictures in sequence, spanned about an hour and a half. So lucky that the clouds which prevailed by Kekaha side stayed away most of the time. Bright Venus and Comet A3, along with satellites and a few meteors, were a spectacle to see. Twas especially dark up there and I had to really watch my footing as the drop-off was right by my toes. 

Enjoy,

TED 

The top shot seemed familiar. Ted was a tour guide on Kauai and knows all the spots and he took us to some great places far off the normal road including this Nihau overlook. Kauai is my favorite place on earth and we have not been there in far too long. I sent Ted this picture I took way back when and he wrote back and told me that it was the exact same spot. Glad he didn't slip.

Mike Reardon and his girlfriend Liz are back from their trip to Botswana and he sends these wonderful photos for your pleasure and perusal.

 

Africa, another place I would like to get back to some day. 

Mike, these shots are too good not to watermark.
