And if your head explodes with dark forebodings too I'll see you on the dark side of the moon. The beauty of winter camping is clear night skies. #astrophotography #nightskies #butWhyCan'tISeeTheDarkSide

Thanks, It's not often there is no wind, so it was remarkable to see the reflection of that lovely big round shape in the dark mirror of the lake.

This is the lake weed cutter. It spends every day of the year driving along cutting the endlessly growing lake weeds. It was such a beautiful, early morning, not a creature was stirring, not even a trout
