About this image

We have a say in Mesopotamia; if you are feeling down then go through your wedding photos :)

Persistent clouds and rain circling over Manchester for the past few weeks made me flick through my pre-Covid photos taken in a dark (and dry) site south of Morocco. It is Comet C/2017-T2 when it passed close to the Perseus double cluster.
