Yes, the polar ice cap has been shrinking so I was pleased to have caught it in my image.

There's another object out there made of cheese? Or is it butter this time? In that case we only need some biscuits.

Beautiful, Graeme.

Thanks. The actual thing is really beautiful. It rises in the East at sunset at the moment, it's up all night and you can't miss it! Well, if your sky is clear! It will start fading now.

Regards

Graeme
