5th

A bunch of naked apes (Homo sapiens) scrutinizing one of their machines.


Just minor abrasions.


Winter comes to A Chorra Bheinn (1509 feet).


7th

Looking into the interior of our galaxy, The Milky Way, from Uigshader.


The Pleiades star cluster at the bottom left.


Orion hovers over the reflected glow of Portree's street lights as Jupiter passes through the Hyades star cluster. One can see Betelgeuse which was the subject of two questions in the recent Skye U3A quiz. As regards the fate of this red supergiant one team answered that it would explode and I only gave them half a mark which, in retrospect, I think was rather mean.


11th

Just before sunrise Venus communes with a dying Moon.


12th

Ice on the River Snizort.
