The photo is cool.

The other 3 seasons in the city didn't leave me dazzled by the nighttime sky. But those summers, WOW! My uncle had a telescope he'd set up frequently and we'd see the moon up close, planets slowly passing by, and countless stars. All this accompanied by crickets and cows mooing in the distance. Those were the days, I tell ya. I spent my summers growing up on a farm in Wisconsin. The other 3 seasons in the city didn’t leave me dazzled by the nighttime sky. But those summers, WOW!

Like you, I was unaware of the amazing difference between a city with street lights and places such as GreenValley. The night sky is beautiful there, which is kinda funny since we all share the same view, pretty much. In GreenValley Arizona, where my mom lives, there are city ordenances against light pollution.
