The Golden Swath
It was one of those warm and still nights on the ocean. Anchored out in Old Harbor, we could hear the lively music and crowds at the big hotel on the island.We were sitting in the stern sipping coffee and soon the night sky was dotted with stars.
I loved trying to pick out the summer constellations. Being born in May, my favorite was Castor and Pollux. Tonight the sky was cloudless and there were so many stars it was hard to see between them. Just then I saw the golden swath. Was it? Oh wow! The Milky Way!

Bill Ding and his band of clowns are the security patrol for this blog site. He is a favorite toy from the 50*s. By the way sometimes a blog is just an ego-maniacal stream of conscience.

This makes me want to make a pilgrimage to the sea. Or somewhere dark enough to really enjoy the night sky.
Nicely done.
Thanks very much for stopping by my blog and leaving such a nice comment.
Very nice!
with Alaska’s black, black skies in the winter, as long as there are no clouds, we are treated to a skyful of start, including the Milky Way. I always consider myself blessed to see them.
You are so lucky to have the black black skies to see the stars. I have been trying to make a trip to Alaska to try to see the Aurora Borealis – a passion of mine. Have you ever seen it? Thank you for stopping by blog and leaving a comment.
