Photo found on web: starry night in Afghanistan

[wraithfodder]

I snerched this photo from a big photospread at http://www.boston.com/bigpicture/2010/06/afghanistan_june_2010.html in a spread on Afghanistan. It's incredible that such beauty can be found in a country that has so many problems. You can view the full size at link above. It's the 15th photo.

Yeah. there are a few areas of the UK where you are far enough away from street lights and cities/towns to get to see the heavens. Wales and Salisbury begin two places.. its so breathtaking and the sky feels like it's right up close to you but also far away.. and of course you get the shooting stars..

you can lie out on a tarp and just look up..

i wish my camera was good enough to get a decent photo:/..

it really puts you back into existence.
