As a very amateur photographer I am often dismayed at the results of my attempts at capturing 'the moment'.
One of the great things about our lovely part of France is sitting under the clear starry skies after the street lights have gone off (saving energy), sipping some wine and contemplating the universe - well perhaps not the universe. Last Friday was such a night and after saying goodnight to some guests I decided to have a go at capturing it - at first I thought I had been successful but then realised it was only smudges on my screen (must clean this sometime) but those of us living here will not need a photograph to understand the feeling and those who don't can only imagine!
