It is an entrancing and inspiring imageShot just after astronomical dark on the Kaikoura Peninsula (NZ) as the Milky Way rose in the
eastern sky - Scorpio just visible above the horizon. Foreground was a single shot just before
complete darkness, combined with six 4-minute exposures of the sky, camera mounted on a
an IOptron tracker. This was the first night sky image I've tried with a newly acquired Fuji GFX
100s, and it acquits itself well - GF 23mm at F/5.6.

Sweden and Denmark hold the world record for the number of times two countries have gone to war with each other.
Depending on which historian you ask, the number of wars is given as 12 or 13.
But there are also historians who state up to 37 wars if you go back far enough, and a little depending on how strict you are when you judge what was Sweden and Denmark.
So Denmark is usually described as Sweden's arch-enemy. The last war was in 1814.
