Perseids

No one would have believed, in the last years of the Twentieth Century, that human affairs were being watched from the timeless worlds of space. No one could have dreamed we were being scrutinised, as someone with a microscope studies creatures that swarm and multiply in a drop of water. Few men even considered the possibility of life on other planets and yet, across the gulf of space, minds immeasurably superior to ours regarded this Earth with envious eyes, and slowly and surely, they drew their plans against us.

Rounding off a perfect summer's day in the Lake District, we whiled away the midnight hours watching nature's saliently sublime sky show from our garden.
