The moon has been close and bright these last few frosty nights. Last night, as the cloud and rain of the day faded away, I opened the skylight and pointed my camera straight up.

It took a while to get the right exposure - much faster than I would have guessed.

"When the dust settles after the Third World War, the population of Earth will read as follows: Keith Richards, cockroaches, Shane MacGowan."

Now that's what I call a great intro.
