Another Blog....

Mark Bialek is a freelance photographer based in Southeast Michigan; he has taken photographs at Peach Mountain (the location of the Lowbrow observatory).

He sent this message along...

I've started a new blog - http://markbialek.com/blog/ Or, www.annarbornights.com will re-direct you.
Just put a lowbrow shot on there. 

The blog background is a shot I took right outside my pad - pointed the camera up high towards the SW.  Wondering if you recognize any of the stars or constellations in it.  I have no idea, myself.  Just thought it would make a cool background for the blog.

This is a screen shot from his blog and shows a photograph taken at Peach Mountain...
