Getting a clear view ...

We've been spending a few days in the Snowy Mountains staying on our son's property. Things are different down here. On 250 hectares, your neighbours are a fair distance away. New Year's Eve was celebrated here with absolute silence. Nothing. (At least there were no wild parties next door).
At night though the difference is even greater. The night sky looks like it's been digitally enhanced and been hung about 1,000 metres directly above you. The stars are magnificent. The Milky Way is as 'milky' as it's ever been and the evening star almost as bright as the moon.
With no light or air pollution from a nearby city God's creation is magnificent to see.
The stars are the same ones you can see from the middle of Sydney, it's just that there's nothing in the way to cloud your vision. To me, it's a reminder to make sure we have a clear view of what we're doing. What gets in the way of your Vision? Maybe it's worth clearing the view?
