Works for me. Have to look at it from about 18 inches away.

A bit of an experiment this - I've added an extra dimension(!) to my previous movie.  You may, or may not, find it works for you.  You need to cross your eyes to make the 2 Jupiters merge into one - then you will see a spinning 3D planet with a moon going past.

You're certainly getting around and it looks like a real nice place.

Let's hope the sky clears soon for you, must be driving you nuts.

I didn't know Fay could cook

Long long ago got back from a walk to find some fossils. The rain stopped for the entire duration of the walk which was good and it is currently dry, with the sun trying to peep out from behind the clouds.

This is the view from about half way up the mountain track back towards the house, which is in the middle of the photo.



This is a zoom of the house from the same spot in which you can see Fay, Tony & Flis.



Mike the fossil hunter.



We saw some small scorpions under a rock when looking for fossils. They were about an inch long.



View down the valley from the top of the track.



We came back with a half decent haul of fossils.



When we got back we had a nice ham salad prepared by Fay with some lovely French cheeses and bread. Yum yum.

We've had thunderstorms all night. It is still raining this morning. So, today we are going for a walk around the valley to collect some fossils. Looks like it may be raining tonight too so no astronomy for a day or two.

This was yesterday:



We were looking at Deer and Eagles through the binos.

Today the view in the valley is:
