Starry, Starry Night by the Strobist.

I had to share this great photo of the sky at night.

Being blind as a bat, I look up at the night sky and try to imagin what folks with better eyes can see.

Then I realise, it's not me at all, its because I live in light polluted England.

Now this picture was taken at 8000 ft above sea level in Colorado, 20 miles from the nearest city (you can see the Orange light pollution on the bottom left).

I'd like this image blown up to 16x7 foot and have it cover my office wall.

Love it, bloody love it.
