Do you take the time to stop and count the stars?

Do you ever stop to look at the night sky and realise just how small and insignificant we really are? This is a photo of the Milky Way taken on the beach by my house (not by me). One of the best things about living on the beach is the lack of light pollution so the skies light up all on their own 馃枻

Goodgrief!
Was that taken with a camera or a phone?

That's a lot of stars!

@SW-User it's downright SPECTACULAR!

I get to see a fair amount of stars here on a clear night.... But THAT, is really awesome.

Reminds me of when I was a kid.
Thats what we'd see.

But cities grow, suburbs have more lamps... and the stars recede.

Before I moved, I lived in a place where you couldn't really see the wash of the milky way anymore, it was just a thin layer of the brightest stars.

Now I get to see it again... But no where near as brilliant as that.

I imagine there are those here who would have NEVER seen a sky like that one.

Do me a favour... Lay out there, stare at the sky, suck up starlight, and enjoy it.

More people should... It's just so beautiful 馃挏

@OogieBoogie definitely whenever I think it sucks that I鈥檓 so far away from the city and don鈥檛 have the convenience鈥 realise just how lucky I am鈥eople would kill to have a beach on the doorstep, the fresh sea air and the fabulous night skies. My favourite thing is to lie in the still night and enjoy the show
