Great image, which I attempted, but by the time I sorted out any issues (Why do I always have issues? :evil:) the Milky Way was over the opposite mountain range?
One day I'll grab an image like that, without Fay strolling slowly across the long exposure, looking into the lens with the beacon light flashing away. :D
On inspecting the image, Fay that is definitely not a laptop floating whisperly past the camera at Les Grange. ;)

Whisperly.

That really ought to be a word - it's so evocative!

RobertM

Thing is there should be 100% chance of not getting a beam in a few frames, in any case it was only one frame that recorded you.

The stride pattern shows a bit of a limp so it might not have been you... possibly but I can't be 100% certain it wasn't ;)

Wisperly - definitely a word for poets.  Fay, maybe it would fit in some of your verse ?

Mark,

It sounded appropriate. You can just imaging Fay just floating past (whisperly) in the gentle breeze............................ ;)

Robert,

I can make up some other words, but they might NOT be appropriate. :D

This maybe Fay, dragging her box up the hill. ;)

Tony, it's probably best you leave it at 'whisperly', especially if you know what's good for you !

Sounds good, ARIZONA........................aaaahhhhh!!!! and the bit about the food didn't sway me, it just meant less cooking. ;)

There's already a prequel in anticipation of you going there Tony, now what was it called now Blazing summit or other... You went under the alias of Hoss as I remember.

Just wondering why we've never seen a horse at DSC only sheep, is it because they're all giving you a wide berth  :o


Tony G

Robert,

Some would say that if that was the case, why don't the sheep! :-?

PS................................AAAAAAHHHHHHRIZONA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

PPS..............................I think this thread has been well and truly hi-jacked. :twisted:

Just to make sure this thread stays off track......................

First - I'm up for it  :)
Second - I assume we're talking about something like Sky Village and renting stuff - Be a bit tricky getting a newt in a suitcase  :-?

http://starizona.com/acb/ is not too far away so an empty suitcase would be useful  ;)

I'm going to go out on a limb here, but I don't think you're quite his type. You should be ok.

No but minors are.
