Funny about street lights. When you're born and raised in a city, you don't realize just how black night is until you get out in the bush and camp. The first thing that struck me at night out in the bush was the brilliance of the stars.

If you lay on your back and look at the stars long enough,you can see quite a few sattilite,s passing over, and if your there long enough you could end up with a heavy dew on ya.
