05a_BanPong_Nov-Dec2008 -- Heavenly Cheer - Dec. 1st 2008 --
Taking a photo of the night sky in the well lit town of Ban Pong was difficult, so we also took a photo of the English language “Bangkok Post” the next day. Ignore the headlines, but this was a great photo taken in the city just nort of Bangkok. Here is the
caption for the Post's photo:
"Heavenly cheer : The waxing crescent moon with Jupiter and Venus
above, appears like a smiley face in the sky as seen from Ayutthaya
province Monday night. - SUNTHORN PONGPAO" While we were told that this
happens every 10 years, it seems this particular arrangement come less often (44
years?). See: ChristianScienceMonitor's
horizons blog & Are
the Gods Smiling on Burma? We felt privileged to be in this
part of the world where the sky was smiling.
