Photo for Today: Murad. Gilf Kebir.



I've posted this photograph before but it is one of my favourites, so forgive!
Murad, a surgeon based in Liverpool, is a keen astronmer and an
absolute encyclopaedia of knowledge on the subject of all things sky-related.
Without Murad the night skies would have been staggeringly beautiful
but would have remained something of a mystery.
With him a whole new dimension to every evening opened up and
people abandoned what they were doing to be lead on a tour
of the silver-speckled blackness above.

You should write more often; your writing is as good as the photo. Beautifully expressed.
