BBC: Whittlesey astrophotography provides lockdown escape (and excellent photos)

https://www.bbc.com/news/uk-england-cambridgeshire-59820361

I've just started reading my news sources and looking at the available photos. The news
today in this New Year is depressingly very similar if not the same as the news I read
yesterday. The photos are much the same too, except for this gallery of celestial
wonders. So I'm posting it because that's what I do.

NOTE: I've observed that people who enjoy taking or viewing photographs are seldom
involved in the more negative aspects of much of the reported news and that in itself is
refreshing.

Those images are quite spectacular, indeed. Also, I agree with your 'thoughts' contained within your 'noted' words.
