A wonderful photo from one of our members


Verena Kummel captured this view of the Moon and Jupiter last Saturday evening from the Bootham grounds, using a long exposure and a brick wall to keep the camera steady. I am very pleased to be able to share it with you, as it really captures the beauty of the scene last week.

Any other submissions will be greatly appreciated!
