Last night, I sat on the cliffs at Rhossili from 10:30pm until 1:30am. I set my camera up to take photos continuously and when I put them all together, this photo was created showing how the Earth rotates in relation to the stars. The star in the middle is Polaris, also known as the North Star. https://www.dansantillo.com/gallery/gower/?photo=DS_311196
We have a similar design on a building here in #Swansea (Wales UK) which is a coastal town. Personally I think it's 'twee-thinking' on the part of the #architect
Visited Glynn Vivian in #Swansea and had a powerful Hepworth moment (pictured)
Made gooey dark chocolate rice cooker brownies, which we proceeded to demolish with custard and strawberries (not pictured, cameras don't work that fast)
At 10 minutes past midnight this morning, I was stood in the water at Three Cliffs Bay! The water was warm and being in the water meant my legs weren't bombarded by sandhoppers (yeuk!) Standing under the stars, watching occasional flashes of bioluminescence really is a privilege and I enjoyed every second.
Last night, when most sensible people were in bed, I was standing in the sea for a couple of hours watching and photographing the bioluminescent plankton at Rhossili Bay!
Of course I didn't take just one photo on Sunday night :) After shooting the first photo, I ran to the top of the path so I could overlook Rhossili Bay. This is the Aurora Borealis over Rhossili Bay with the moon, taken just before midnight.
