Can't you see, it's a bear with huge paws and climbing up a tree????!!!

A few nights ago, I was up on Victoria Peak ( i have been there a lot lately). Anyhow, on this particular evening, the stars were out. This I must mention is rather rare in Hong Kong as light pollution is rife! But yes, the stars were out, not very bright, but viewable.

Now, usually when I look at stars, I am left with a sense of bewilderment. On this occasion my mind wondered somewhere else to, constalations.

As much as I like stars, I think constalations are probably the most ridiculous things ever. The 'shapes' and lines made between stars are so vague that one could probably make out any picture one wished. I don't see a horseman with bow and arrow hunting down a lepoard when I look up at the night sky!!

Good job I am not a astrologer.
