Hello there bloggies! Happy March to you all! Can you actually believe that it’s march already? In a few weeks we will completed one quarter of this year! I know that no one reading this wanted to hear that, but oh well.
Despite the facts there’s still so much going on this was a better month and I actually got some posts out. I know – pull out the shocked faces!
Fist off Jupiter and Venus we looking very close in the sky towards the end of February, their closest was on March the first – however the inevitable pre-scheduled cloud buggered that up. However one evening the Moon lined up with them as well.
Cosmic Alignment Venus, Jupiter and Moon
I also caught a shot of this comet back from February which was missed in last month’s orbit!
I also kicked off a couple of new things… First was something on Life the Universe and Everything. Our look on this and how we might get by a little better among the chaos.
Life the Universe and Everything – The Emotional Man Ape
Life the Universe and Everything – A whole Planet of Ape Men
I’ve also started ranting… it’s too much to bear so these little things I see about me I need to get off my chest. There could be many posts on this:
Thinking about it makes it Hurt – Roads
Thinking about it makes it Hurt – Valentines Day
Thinking about it makes it Hurt – What is it about Farts?
I’m not saying I’m proud about these… just necessary.
The other thing that’s been going on is the northern lights that have been visible from the UK in the last week or so. Last week I wasn’t able to go out and see them becasue of a stinking cold – this week there might be another chance… guess what though – yup the bloody weather!
I hope you’re all keeping good!
How about you guys? How are we all doing out there? How’s life treating you?
A Lens to the Sky
I love skylines, so often a lens doesn’t do them justice but sometimes a wide lens and a moody sky can make a beautiful picture. I wish I could mount some of these at times…Enjoy the views!

Thinking about it makes it Hurt – The Tax System
I’m sorry, it’s me – I can’t help it. I’ve tried to keep the insanity from the door of this corner of the web but I can’t do it any longer. The world in which we live is wonderful, beautiful and terrible thing and yet there’s few – well quite a lot of people actually…

A Flavour of Spring
I can’t talk obviously about the rest of the world, but here in the UK Spring has been a bit of a washout but there have been a few times where the Sun and been able to shine onto the beauty of the Spring and I’ve been able to capture a flavour of it.I hope…

isn’t it so annoying when you want to watch an astral phenomenon and the clouds just foil your plans?

Beautiful astrophotography, Simon! The northern lights have also been visible from parts of Vancouver Island lately but I have yet to catch a glimpse. I hope the weather is clear and you get a chance to witness them- I would love to see photos!

I hope you get to see the lights, I saw on the news that on a flight from England to Iceland the captain changed the flight so the passengers could see them
