I've been absent from the site for the site for a while now.
Landed yesterday afternoon on the island of Mauritius, my home country. Going to be here for three weeks. For those who don't know where Mauritius is located, here is a quick lesson in geography. It's a tiny holiday island in the Indian Ocean, east of Madagascar. Mark Twain said " Mauritius was made first and then heaven was created after Mauritius".
Yes, I could wait to get going with my camera. My first sunset yesterday was beautiful.
The picture above was amazing. Notice the position of the two planets. Being in the southern hemisphere, the positions of planets are different when seen from the Northern hemisphere.
