I´ve lived here for about sixteen years and there´s something I just can´t get used to: not being able to see the Southern Cross constellation when I look up at the night sky.

Weird thing to miss, I know. It´s a strang feeling that I just can´t quite explain. I feel it most when I walk the dogs at night. It´s a feeling of "there´s just something missing". I mean, no disrespect to Orion´s Belt, it is after all the constellation after which the Eggyptians oreintated their Great Pyramids, but it´s just isn´t my Southern Cross. In South africa I was taught how to easily find the Southern Cross and not to mistake it for the other so-called "false cross". It reminds me of my time as a boy scout. It reminds me of the times we spent camping and looking up marvelled at the millions and millions of stars in the night sky.

I look up now and something´s missing.

After sixteen years it´s probably one of the few things I still really miss. Makes me wanna travel down South!
