Winter Night at Pic du Midi
Credit & Copyright: Alain Sallez, David Romeuf (Université Lyon 1)
This dreamlike view looking south from the historic mountain top Pic du Midi Observatory combines moonlit domes, a winter night sky, and the snowy peaks of the French Pyrenees.
Encroaching on the night, lights from the La Mongie ski resort illuminate the mountain slopes nearby while the glow along the distant horizon is from urban areas in southern France and Spain.
The night sky features stars of the constellations Orion and Gemini with a bright planet Mars very near the top edge, left of center. The three prominent domes visible (from left to right) house a 0.6 meter telescope reserved for amateur astronomers, a 1 meter telescope that was used to support the Apollo lunar landing missions, and the new, Sun-watching CLIMSO.
Adding this place to my list of places to visit!!! I love staring at the sky and stars, and this place is just :O
I was writing a post and accidentally pressed command+Left arrow instead of alt+L arrow and lost everything. Usually the text comes back when I press command+R arrow but it didn’t! And I was almost done. It took me a while writing that :(
Oh well. I’ll come back for it on the weekend :(
Hello Stranger.
Falling in love with the literally lost stranger you meet in a tour group in Seoul. This is a really funny Thai movie!!! Watch watch!
Makes me want to travel with a bf and go back to Korea, too!!!
this should be in the back of my mind for 2012. it applies so heartily to me, being that i’m about to graduate and turn 22 in the course of the next year.
I’M TURNING 22 IN 12 MONTHS TIME! LET’S DO THIS!
A,
Let’s do this together. Soon. Even before we turn 22. :D
Even if you’re twenty-five or twenty-seven or whatever, this applies! :P

Asiana and Korean Airlines offer either a stay at a hotel or a free day trip to Seoul if you have a long layover so the family & I chose a long layover en route to the US to do a day trip. But I’ll never do it again. Once is enough! haha! I don’t like being on tour buses that just parade me around the city and take me to tourist traps. The restaurant we went to was really good though! That was the only thing I really liked about it. And the palace where Goong was filmed. I soooo wanted to be left behind and go inside the palace, but the tour bus had to go. Boohoo~ It was good that I got to see Seoul but that was it. It was literally see. I didn’t feel it.
I really want to go back and explore the country. I actually want to get assigned for work in S. Korea for a couple of months or so. I don’t know how but world, make it happen :D
- me: Ivan, go with me to Angono
- Ivan: Angono? Hahaha! What are we going to do there?
- me: I want to see the Petroglyphs?
- Ivan: The what???
- me: Petroglyphs! It's a rock with 3000-yr old drawings and inscriptions on it
- mom: where is that in Angono?
- me: It's by Eastridge (the golf course)
- mom: Don't go there! Baka ma-nuno sa punso pa kayo dun!!*
- me: LOL!!! WTH, mom? It's just a rock! And it's an official park.
- *nuno sa punso: nuno is dwarf. punso is a brown mound where dwarfs live. Meaning of what my mom said: You guys might get cursed by a dwarf there!
Itineraries are really only useful as a guide. It’s too strenuous to stick to it by the dot, imo. It takes the fun out of a trip. But, sometimes it’s good to follow them, particularly the starting time and ETD for public transpos.
This was our itinerary for Mount Pinatubo. Obviously, we did not start out that early. But we still got there within the same ballpark as the ETA. I always keep the itinerary of trips in the same folder as the photos. I don’t know why. It’ll be useful someday, if not for me, at least a friend or a friend of a friend.
ps: That’s a huge tip for the driver if you multiply it by 3! Kaya walang nag tip…haha
