Seems to be quite dark here. :D

In town the scale goes up to blue and even green (3-4), but all around it's black, black, black (1)...

And indeed, even from in front of our house I usually see the Milky Way in all its beauty. :D

Has been years since I've seen the Milky Way.... (I don't travel that much)

Yeah, heard about that a couple of weeks back. Very nice too. We're hoping planning a camping trip up there.... TURN THAT LIGHT OFF!

:lol:

Cheers,

Drew.

What do you expect? I'm living on the black continent, after all. And not too far from the Heart of Darkness. :wink:

Distance is relative and all that, but isn’t Uganda sort of in the way? :-)

No. Actually it's Rwanda which is in the way. And somehow this is sad, because one could rightfully say that it has a claim to be the heart of darkness in its own right...

Oh yes. Why did I think you were in Kenya? It’s *rolls dice* Griff’s fault!

Never mind. :) Sometimes even my browser thinks it's in Kenya. I don't know how these fancy personalized adds are produced. Based on IP, or on what? Anyway, I always got those for Nairobi. Also visitors counters on websites always placed me to Kenya (for instance on this site, which I sometimes visit). I guess it has something to do with where our satellite ISP has its servers? :?:

Anyway, recently our connection has somehow changed (the old satellite was too busy or somesuch), and since that day YouTube is offering me its italian localization. :shock:

Weird. :?
