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).
