Elusive star-dom

I waited till sunset today to venture out for a drive. My sole intention was to wander around until the sun set and the stars came out. So I left town, went south, then west and drove and drove for an hour.

I was hoping to see a watered-down (but still impressive) facsimile of this. (I had previously blogged about that amazing photograph here).

Instead all I got to see were the bottoms of some wispy, but certainly opaque, clouds. Thwarted by condensed moisture, my visions of seeing the Milky Way will have to wait for another night. Next time I shall go armed with a blanket and find a spot where I can lay down and see the sky.

I am sure it will be worth the wait...
