'10 February. The Peregrine flew north across the valley. He was half miles away, but I could see the brown and black of his wings, the shining gold of his back. The pale cream of his tail coverts looked like a band of straw twisted across the base of his tail. Thinking he'd return downwind, I went into fields with the river to watch for him. I stood in the lee of the hawthorn hedge, looking through it on the north, sheltered in the bitter wind' Amazingly, there isn't a lots of scientific research about how glasses can transform the way in which people see you -- instead of how they see what's facing them. But there's a high correlation with the Hollywood notion the fastest way to turn actors into giving the impression of scientists is always to make them wear a pair of not too flattering spectacles. This picture amazingly captures the think layer of clouds within the valley near the south of Lake Como, northern Italy. In the above image, the dense cloud hides almost the valley and instead gives off some artificial lights which make the city like an opaque blanket. The village over distance is clearly seen from the blanket.
