Never Dark

[BerrieK]

Well hello fellow IISers!

I have been in Shetland (northern Scotland) for the last month and sadly report that the sun has not set once, there is nothing to see in the sky at night other then clouds and birds, and I am here at the wrong time of year to see the Northern Lights. Bummer. I have also been suffering from internet withdrawals due to very limited access - probably a good ting in truth.

All that aside it is an amazingly beautiful place; will post a few pics (form my crappy little camera) when I get home in a while.

Hope everyone there is happy and well and enjoying crisp clear Aussie winter nights, fending off dew and clouds and enjoying a few warming beverages.

Cheers, Kerrie

I'll be looking forward to those pic's Kerrie, as I understand Northern Scotland is a beautiful place.

Yes, it sounds like your kind of place Humayan.

Molly,

Perhaps I can make my next overseas trip there? ; )

Hi Kerrie, Yep sure is a beautiful place!
I was in Scotland in Feb/Mar but didn't get up to the Shetlands unfortunately, so also looking forward to your pics.

I am glad you are enjoying yourself but what on earth made an astronomer go to a place when the sun doesn't set me thinks you might need your head examined

Solar Astronomy Warren, the perfect opportunity with non-stop sun.

Hope your having a great time Kerrie

Cheers
