well the mist is the biggest spoilsport when looking for stars around here.
It's rare to get good moonless nights these days.

for a few Avebury pics.

The Stonehenge moonrise event is awesome. The sunsets and then moments later the fullmoon rises to the left of the heelstone.
An amazing thing to experience is the stones glowing pink as the sunsets.

Thanks for the two links Pete, I don't want to sound like a flatterer but they are truly very inspiring to look at.

Seeing a full moon-rise at Stonehenge is definitely near the top of my list of "things to do before ......."

The night I referred in in my previous post was when the friend I was with pulled into the lay-by by Waden Hill - I got out of the car and had something akin to a revelationary experience, to this day I do not have the vocabulary to describe the impact the millions of brightly shining stars in the frosty night sky had upon me. Being a town dweller and not owning a car it was a rare opportunity.

Wishing you and your family a peaceful and happy mid-winter time.
