    Pleasant and impressive memory of the sky, there was still no visual pollution, the "milky way", in all its splendor, looked like a "diamond waterfall". It hurts in the soul that today, barely the moon shines in the sky. Greetings from Medellin. Colombia 🇨🇴

    I can’t even imagine how brilliant it would be because I went camping out on an Iowa farm and woke up in the middle of the night I came out of the tent and was almost blown away by the way the sky looked it was no longer flat but curved round, you could see the curve In the night sky and the stars it was absolutely unbelievable it almost felt like you traveled back in time and was standing at the beginning of time. So I don’t know what it would look like if it was even darker. I was born and raised in the city and had never seen the night sky look like that.

    I grew up on a farm it was quiet and I liked to go out at night lying on my back and looking at the sky and gazing at the stars and with my job I had to move to town and one night I remember I I was on the balcony it was 4am and I noticed there wasn't a single second of silence. If it wasn't a passing car it was an ambulance siren or the police, firefighters, a factory, people, I f***g miss my little piece of peace.

    Forgive my ignorance, but is it common to have Welsh people that only speak Welsh? I always thought that all Welsh people spoke English primarily, but Welsh was like a side language that they spoke at home.

    • @andrewjones-productions
      @andrewjones-productions Рік тому +3

      No. Welsh is the primary language in many social and work situations. My education was until the age of 18 through the Welsh language and not English. It wasn't until I went to university that I first experienced only using English. There is no such thing as a 'side language'.

      @lethallizard963 Рік тому +2

      Most people in Wales only spoke Welsh 100 years ago, but the last monoglot Welsh speakers died in the 1980s. Most people in Wales today can speak English too, but Welsh is not a “side language”, for half a million of us, it’s our mother language.

      Not many welsh people “hate” English people, also we were punished for speaking Welsh for centuries.

      i can assure you there is nothing remotely evil about beautiful ynis enlli. it was a place of pilgrimage for monks, many who were buried there, giving it the title "isle of a thousand saints". there is a ruined abby ,there, & it was proclaimed by the catholic church that 3 pilgrimages to ynis enlli equalled one pilgrimage to rome. even today, it has a beautiful, holy atmosphire, you can tell that it is a very special place, blessed by God & all of his saints, who took pilgrimages there.

      @@amiyah5834 maybe you are a city dweller, who has never seen how spectacular a natural, un light poluted night sky can be. when you are gazeing out into a realy dark, night sky, you are gazeing at a vast, celestial panorama, covering thousands of light years of space. every one of those stars is a sun, some of them of modest size, like ours, some hundreds of times bigger than our sun!. some of those suns have planets revolving around them, like our sun has, & some of those planets might be beautiful worlds, teaming with life, there may even be inteligent beings on some of them , with thei'r own, fascinating civilizations & cultures. because to look out into a dark, night sky, is to be looking out at a big chunk of the universe, & to marvel at God's awesome creation! astronomy is the most nobel of the sciences, because astronomers are admireing what God has created &, unlike other forms of science, are doing nothing to try to control, change, polute, or destroy it.
