International Space Station

ISS night


Last night was most brightest day to see ISS (International l Space Station). However in my area was overcast, so I could not see any at all.

I asked Planetarium where I found this news on Facebook. They said the time is twilight, so it may not bright as last night.

Last night I could not see. And this time is hard to see from the house, because of lots of trees. My homestay mother drove for me to MT Coot-Tha. First was near the TV station, but we were not sure, we can see or not. Then she drove up to the lookout.
It was bit brighter, because of the city lights. However I could find one light that is moving.

Yes, finally I saw it.

I'm so happy to see it, because I was really looking forward to seeing it.

That is my photo which was best one from my photo collection tonight.
Just under the Jupiter.

New Year Eve and New Year

The end of the year and New year.

Finale of 2012 was really gorgeous night.
Many things were done in the end with friends.

Took photos of bridge.
Time past, changed scenery.
What a lovely... 
















 
























Bar was served free finger meals.
Spring roll, calamari, prawns, prawn sushi, trout and raw oysters.
Most of them were seafood. I really enjoyed the meals. That what I missed in Australia and the end of the year I had these in free of charge.
Belly dance and fire show were great as well.
Moved to near the pub, but it was reserved by events, so we couldn't go in. After one drink, we moved to another pub. Last time of pub crawl the year.
Dancing at pub with friends were great.
Finale of the night was fireworks.
I took photos, but not great to put in here... sorry.

I really appreciated to my friend who was invited me.
