Yes, yes! And just think, the natives to this continent could have that glorious light show on any given night just about anywhere ane hundred yards from the camp fire!
True, as much as i like modern technology I do wish I could get away from it a lot quicker than i can.
Heck, your experience proves that even in the middle of nowhere, you are still surrounded by modern technology, ie. the jet plane you saw overhead in the distance over head.
Do you remember the movie, “The God’s must be Angry”?
I was always impressed by the modern technological age clashing with the almost stone age environment of the guy who saw the coke bottle. He takes it back to his people, and they use it for many tasks. The people start to fight over it, so he decided to return it to the god that dropped it out of the sky. In this case the god was the airplane overhead. Even in the far reaches of inner Africa where the bushmen lived, modern technology was present.
I’m sorry, the name of the movie was, The Gods Must Be Crazy”, not angry.
And then be the main course for some cougar who was also out admiring the stars. :)
There was a reason our ancestors feared the night.
