About this image

Rather oddly, I was on route to bed, looked out of the window, thought it was going cloudy, then realised that was very unlikely from the sky earlier. Dressed in nothing more than my dressing Gown and pair of trainers, I grabbed my camera kit, and whilst stood in the street outside my house (underneath a street lamp), took a series of shots that I stitched together to make this panorama. A passing gentleman walked past me on the other side of the road, and did not even acknowledge my presence - I wonder why!

Thanks, in retrospect it does seem a little odd!
