Amen to that

I also have been at sea during Darken Ship. The night sky on the open ocean is absolutely phenomenal (sp).

Totally amazing on those nights when it took 5 minutes before you could see your hand in front of your face. One of the things I miss most about the Navy are those star gazing nights.

I remember driving through the Utah desert one night on my honeymoon, and pulling over to gaze up at the sky. My heart started racing when I took it all in - and when I thought that for most of human existence, this is what everyone saw every night!!!

But, still, if you look at the where the dark areas are on that photo - I'm still better off than they are.

I recall my Air Crew days over the Atlantic. Just about dusk on a clear evening. Its almost indescribible. Nothing but a dark blue sky above and nothing but black sea below. Talk about a solitary and insignificant feeling.
