Monday: The Stars at Night


One other amazing aspect about our bedouin experience had nothing to do with the hospitality. The stars in the middle of the desert on a clear night are simply brilliant in a way that they can never be at home. Orion's belt, sword and sheild were all shining brightly, and for the first hour of nightfall, there was a wonderful crescent moon with moonglow and Venus hanging in the sky right next to it. Breathtaking.
The stars don't photograph well, but here's the desert sunset from our bedouin location.
