The night sky....

[This particular shot was taken with a Cannon 20D using a Tamron 18-200mm lens. ]
There are days here in Ouagadougou where the humidity is just so high that it is not comfortable to be outside for very long; so at night, it's no wonder why many people get out and simply sit around for hours talking about their day.

"The stars around the fair moon fade
Against the night,
When gazing full she fills the glade
And spreads the seas with silvery light."

- Sappho (around 500 B.C.)
