新疆遊--烏魯木齊

今天已經是離開的第十二天了,有無人掛住我呀?我看應該沒有了。
回來的日子還未決定,可能可以早點回來吧,因為帶的錢不夠了,呵,所以手信都不能買多了。

在新疆看的好多,世界原來可以這麼廣闊,希望回來後不會太快忘掉旅行所想的啦,遊記本子也希望夠用就好了。

Comet Between Fireworks and Lightning

Explanation: Sometimes the sky itself is the best show in town. Last January, people from Perth, Australia gathered on a local beach to watch a sky light up with delights near and far. Nearby, fireworks exploded as part of Australia Day celebrations. On the far right, lightning from a thunderstorm flashed in the distance. Near the image center, though, seen through clouds, was the most unusual sight of all: Comet McNaught. The photogenic comet was so bright that it even remained visible though the din of Earthly flashes. Comet McNaught has now returned to the outer Solar System and is now only visible with a large telescope. The above image is actually a three photograph panorama digitally processed to reduce red reflections from the exploding firework.
