    Sutton Park today

    I took the dogs to the Streetly side of Sutton Park on Saturday afternoon for a good run - as a result of recent storms and snow bits of this side of the park look like a bomb has dropped - looks like the park rangers and the sawmill are in for a busy few weeks:-

    See Birmingham by Post Card

    What a great photo - so much going on in it; from the parade to the shop windows, the signs and flags on the walls to the little girl in her shawl standing alone on the corner of the road. Whoever said "a picture paints a thousand words" was correct!!

    Earth and Jupiter are currently at the closest point they will be for the next 10 years - so ideal time for photography. Add a crystal clear night just before midnight yesterday and I managed to get this one:- All 4 Galilean satellites and excellent cloud detail. Moons from the left - Ganymede...

    Also managed to get some photos of Jupiter and all 4 of its Galilean satellites in the last few weeks. Photographing Jupiter is a bit of a dark art (these are taken with a camera and very big lens, not through a telescope) - you have to wait for a moonless, cloudless night otherwise you loose...
