Vacation Extra: The Skies
I often have to get up in the middle of the night to attend to (ahem) bodily functions.
I don't know why, but it just happens like that.
When I did this, I would check out the skies.
When we were in the Bighorn Wilderness, the skies were so full of stars and so clear that I didn't really need my head lamp to see where to walk. I actually paused on the lakeside to stop and take it all in.
I wish my camera would have a better "night" function for my friends in the big city, but it was truly a sight to behold.
In the hotel in Buffalo, there was bad weather moving through, and the skies hung low like mammatus clouds with swirling grey and black. I was glad to be inside.
When we were in Thermopolis, J spotted a spot drifting high in the fringes of the atmosphere. "I think I saw a satellite!"
All in all, the skies were beautiful and clear, but beyond simple words.
There's a reason why they call it Big Sky Country.
