" We travel in the dark of the new moon
A starry highway traced on the map of the sky
Like lovers and heroes, lonely as the eagle's cry
We're only at home when we're on the fly
On the fly."

Neil Peart, Rush
Dreamline...Roll the Bones, 1991

Torrance Barrens - April 26-27 2003

Arriving in the late afternoon, it seemed that the wind was going to be a problem, but as the sun set the wind died down, the skies were clear and still. The temperature got down to around -3C and there was a bit of frost late...around 2:00am. But the seeing was great...clear crisp skies, what more can you ask for...here are the shots
