Well, yes, it looks pretty small from here but it's 1,317 times the size of this little rock we live on. That's Jupiter there, second bright blob on the right. The slightly brighter blob is Venus. Quite accidentally they are visible over the entrance to Victoria's Inner Harbor. All those lights on the left are Ogden Point seen from the Westsong Walkway. My fingers got so cold taking this photo for you I get to stay home tomorrow if I want and post something from the archives.

Very beautiful night view!
Puh-leez! Shall we open a bank account to collect donations to send poor, miserable Benjamin to a nice, warm Hawaiian condo for his dotage? He of the most splendid of Canadian cities; nay, of the planet?! Cry me a river, Benjamin. Cry me a river.
beautiful night photo ...doesn't look so cold ;)(ahahah!)
This is splendid, Benjamin.
Hahaha. I can tell you're an astronomer ("Jupiter is the second bright blog on the right). *Sigh* You bring joy to my life.
One of my readers of my blog sent me this post by email. Beautiful scenery ..earth and sky!
Thanks all for your kind remarks, though I detect a slightly cynical tone wafting up from someone who lives 1,290 kilometers or 800 miles closer to the equator than I do, someone basking beneath palms lazily waving in the hot, bright sun, someone who gambols o'er the thyme-scented California hills with flocks of wild turkeys while I shiver beneath winter's icy black skies.
Ah, you mock back, blog-bro! But do you even get frost? Ice? Snow? The winter challenge is on...
I like the way the colours bleed into each other here.
I am now wondering whether the Willits Wonder™ does indeed frolics with the wild turkeys...
Kris, sometimes she frolics and sometimes she gambols. I believe she also cavorts from time to time. As for the turkeys, see her post HERE.
Kris, Benjamin - You both are loons! I mostly just tarry.
Turkeys to chase?
