I'm very lucky with our Cambridge Tent Displays that the field we use is East facing. This gives me the opportunity to get up early and view the rising sun. The added bonus of the large unobstructed skies just adds to the experience. Here are a couple of photos from the last couple of days, and what a difference some passing cloud makes!

The Karsten tent has been proven over the past 30 plus years to be one of the most resilient tents for those who enjoy camping and for those that rely on them for extreme activities including the military and emergency services.  The materials used, coupled with the attention to detail and craftsmanship of each tent, whether in their standard range or bespoke ensure that when it bears the Karsten name, you know you've got the best. The picture below shows the Karsten Inflatable Army Tents in extreme conditions up high on location in the Alps.

Yesterday afternoon when I got in and checked my social media, there were a few posts about the moonrise and the fact it was due to be a full moon. So grabbing my camera kit, I donned by walking boots and made across the fields at the back of our house to hopefully capture the moonrise over one of our local farms.  Below is my picture - the metering was thrown out by their tennis court floodlights but it does really add to the atmospherics. One of the things that I have always wanted do is to attend a Dark Skies Festival Event . They are all over the UK and mainly in the National Parks. I've linked to them here as it may be something others may have done and can recommend or would like to do.
