Night & home

I am trying to be sociable. Friday night is beer night, apparently, and so it's dark along the river when I come back by ferry. But there's lots of light pollution here. And so there are very few stars to see (almost just the odd planet), in comparison with the magical heavens above Palm Beach, where you can see so many stars so far away. I felt homesick for the first time and wondered when I would next smell the sea.
