<p>An astronomy friend and I went to Dover for the weekend with an aim to bag ourselves a comet but the opportunity was also there for a Milky Way capture on the English Channel but little did I realise how bloody near France was! Calais just lit up the Eastern skies. Nevertheless the intensity wasn't too much and seems Calais is using mostly the old sodium street lights, at least that's my perception. But as a bonus we were also two days away from the peak of the Lyrid meteor showers and my friend, Nick and I saw 6 meteors that night. My image shows one such meteor captured right above the galactic core of the Milky Way. <br />

<p>View of the White Cliffs of Dover. The cliff face, which reaches a height of 350 feet (110 m), owes its striking appearance to its composition of chalk accented by streaks of black flint. <br />

<p>A 2012 July morning in Calais.<br />
<br />
Waiting to board the ferry to Dover I was completely surprised we could see the cliffs. It still amazes me, and yet it explains a lot as well.<br />
<br />
Although it technically is not a perfect picture I consider it one of my most precious ones. The mystique of the English Channel, the two coasts so close and yet so far away caught in one composition, is very, very dear to me.</p>

<p>The Hundred Years' War (1337–1453) was a conflict between the kingdoms of England and France and a civil war in France during the Late Middle Ages. It emerged from feudal disputes over the Duchy of Aquitaine and was triggered by a claim to the French throne made by Edward III of England. The war grew into a broader military, economic, and political struggle involving factions from across Western Europe, fuelled by emerging nationalism on both sides. The war took place over 116 years. However, it was an intermittent conflict which was frequently interrupted by external factors, such as the Black Death, and several years of truces. <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hundred_Years'_War" rel="noreferrer nofollow">en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hundred_Years'_War</a><br />
