Black Smoke Filled Skies

As the 11th night bonfire burned on the beautiful clear night sky was filled with a thick black smoke.

What a hugh let down. i have been waiting all day and now there is no point in scoping out. my sky is filled with thick black smoke and it is obsuring the whole sky. looks like it will be like this for another few hours. anyway it gives me time to catch up with some sleep.

Clear skies everyone

Kevin,
to what occasion is the bonfire for? Would it be ok to write a letter to the editor of your local paper about it? Not to give out about any festival that it may be tied to, but just to show the irony about it and pollution, and astronomy!

Hi Seanie,
Thats A good idea, i might actually do that. you never know the repies i might get.

They are built by the members of the Protestant community ahead of the Twelfth of July commemoration of William of Orange's victory over the Catholic King James II at the Battle of the Boyne in 1690.


Thanks mate.

Sorry to hear about your sky being smoked out Kevin
