Bewitched by the Ashen Light of Venus

We spent the weekend camping on the beach in San Nicolò on the west coast of Sardinia.


Our Quechua pop-up tents... what an invention they are!
They make camping sooo much easier!

The sunset was AMAZING. It stayed like this until about 9.30 pm, and then we saw Venus. I had never seen Venus shine like it did that night, and was in awe staring at the beautiful light. It kept on getting brighter and brighter as well as lower into the horizon; it started to veer from a diamond sparkle, to deep gold then red to eventually disappear as it had sunken into the water. There was no moon that night, so it truly was shining bright!
Next day beach day!

Poor Enrico came camping nevertheless he cut him self open
surfing on the reef the other day...
