Very nice, peaceful landscape that doesn't grab the eyes so I can focus in the sky. Excellent!

Nice work Frank. It looks very similar (location wise) to H's shot!

[spearo]

Thanks Mike
Yep about 2 meters away !:lol:

I only wish my images looked similar to H's otherwise.

Nice shot Frank! It looks like you've captured fewer stars than H did, which makes the planets dominate the image a bit more.

Cheers,

Well done, matey!

Was a frantic hour, but, I think that was part of the fun, and the untold backstories which go into every landscape photographers images. :)
