He used it in land surveying at a time when all the current day gizmos were not available. I have forever felt sorry that I didn't learn more of it from him. <br />He surveyed the Canadian North when there was very little out there, going with French Canadian guides to places still uncommon to our ears. <br />Your words reminded me of that; and made me think what a pity it was that we city and semi-rural dwellers miss this awesome beauty by our excessive use of municipal lighting.<br />Thanks for continuing to provide such beautiful blogs - visually, intellectually, poetically, spiritually. <br />KArtiseternalhttp://artiseternal.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15897842.post-20456060937512893682009-09-13T06:17:40.676-04:002009-09-13T06:17:40.676-04:00Great photo, Cate!

I used to get up very early in the morning and scan over the dawning eastern sky to search for unknown comets. I never found one. But it remains one of my great childhood memories.Tsutsuhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13169469674702565280noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15897842.post-84363585107922850212009-09-12T14:12:06.911-04:002009-09-12T14:12:06.911-04:00Magnificent!!!!!!!!
