Bleached

The tail of hurricane Katia was still whipping the long grasses this morning

The morning light was harsh and bleached the landscape like an over-exposed photograph.

Just heard about a new supernova in the Pinwheel galaxy at the tail end of the big dipper. It's reported to be star the size of the earth which exploded 21 million years ago (that means it's 21 million light years from earth.) I guess it'll be a while longer before we hear the bang. Only joking - that's only on Star Trek.
