Astronomy party in an abandoned city pool last Sunday night. This shot was taken pretty early, it got much more crowded later on with people lined up ten deep to look into the telescopes.

You people take such great photos, I'm a bit embarrassed to put mine up here. That's me on the right foreground, gathered with a group of friends at Wooyung Beach.

I was struck, in Paris, by how many people were just out and sitting in the green spaces. It was really lovely.

Also, I don't seem to take a whole lot of pictures of crowds or gatherings, it would seem :-)
