Yeah, exact Once upon a time I was in Sweden in the middle of >nothing<. There was "stars and silence" - really great and surreal when you come from a city.

haha, When I was in Sweden it was in the middle of summer, and quite north. It was even lighter than in a city at night
But I witnessed a simular thing on the island La palma, or in the south of france
The black black sky, and the milky way
I love Sweden btw (and found my love there lol)

nothing but ice and snow here
my car has a small glacier on top of it, I fear for the person following too closely behind me when it lets go of my roof finally.

well, I can live without the sun in all this snow, it's so bright you can't open your eyes when it comes out now.

Well, we have stars tonight ...somebody heard my complaints... and no snow (there was enough in december!) I hope tomorrow will be nice and cold and sunny! (Somebody should make you some snow glasses, so you could bath in the winter sun without hurting your eyes

I remember finding it very "strengious" to walk about the city in december with all the snow lying arround - funny stuff, it was just like living in a defective refrigerator. Nothing would melt, no matter what you spill over it And yes, the brightness was hurting my eyes, too - and the cold wind. Well, glue a ND-filter from your camera to your UV-polarized eyeglasses. Sounds like a vampire gadget

There is actually a tutorial online on how to convert welding/cyber goggles into infrared viewing goggles. It's epic, and I totally am going to make some one day. If you scroll through my favs, I have many examples of IR photography in there... goggles... so THAT is how you see things... IN REAL LIFE! Sooooooo cool! It says they are only good for use in bright sun. My problem.. solved (in the coolest way imaginable)
