Photographer's Note
A photograph of comet McNaught taken close to Gordonsbay as McNaught is ending its week long stay. All you see on the horizon is sea (False Bay) and the last glimmer of sunset.
"Comet McNaught, is a non-periodic comet discovered on August 7, 2006 by Robert H. McNaught. It made perihelion on January 12, 2007, and became easily visible to the naked eye for observers in the Southern hemisphere."

Striking! It reminds me of a star falling to earth, or maybe "the Little Prince"

Thats one of the best comet photographs I have seen, unfortunately for me I live in the north and never even heard of this one. However at least I have seen it through your wonderful image
Happy New Year Simon

Hi, great photo of a comet. this is a very fine example of being in the right place at the right time. That elusive, magical moment. It stands out with the use of the black border. Good artistic touch.
thanks for the photo,
Karen
