What else?...Lovejoy!

Finally I had my opportunity to see the comet after days enjoying the photographs posted here and feeling frustrated with the weather.
Poor little Sofia who is 5 months old had to drive with us in the car (luckily she fell asleep quickly again) all because I didn't want to go by myself and hubby had to come along.
After driving around trying to find a suitable place, finally we found a clear area ouside town.By then it was almost 5 am and the predawn lights were starting to show, I managed few quick snaps.
What a beautiful comet it is!....clearly visible from a dark location, I intend to go back to the same location tomorrow (if weather allows, there is a forecast of thunderstorms for the next couple of days).

thanks guys, one thing is to watch the beautiful photographs, but having the opportunity to see it with your naked eye is a wonderful experience, we don't have many opportunities to see comets so I have to make the most of it!
