Thanks! I went to school in Valais, and years later, went back to the village the school was in, just to see it as an adult. The second I got out of the car, it started to rain; the further I got from the car, the harder it rained. By the time I reached my old dormitory, it was pouring buckets, and thunder and lightning had started. I walked around a bit, then, thoroughly soaked, got back into the car. As I drove away, not only did the rain stop, but the sun broke through the clouds and the village was brilliantly sunlit.... in my rear view mirror. I took that as a sign that I was not welcome there, and I haven't returned to the scene of my schoolgirl crimes since!!

(I have visited elsewhere in Switzerland, however, without difficulty!)
Stefano, thank you very much for the video!
Astrophotographers all, thank you very much for sharing your images, and may 2011 bring you clear skies and good seeing whenever you want it!
