Astrophotography
James Luis flickrAfter months of trying to organise it, I have finally managed to get my friend James to take me stargazing (partly through taking his torch hostage). Reaching his house slightly before midnight, we were lucky to be doing this during the Geminid meteor shower, which provided a splendid view of lots of shooting stars and hopefully has meant my wishes may finally come true (come on, world domination).
