To me it seems like the amount of leaves on the ground aproach infinity. They say that if you took all of the grains of sand in all of the beaches of the world - that there would be more stars in the universe than grains of sand. We have such horrible light polution here it would be amazing to be on one of the islands away from the cities and just see the stars.
It is amazing - yesterday we had our first blue skies in a while. It has been just raining for weeks. The benefit of that is how fantastically clear the air is - when you look out at the horizon there is no gray haze - just a clear light blue.
