Yes, you can say that. It indicates a lot of moonlight (probably from a full moon) and lots of stars. 'It was a cloudless night sky' would probably be a less confusing option. _________________ Cheers m' dears! |

Thanks Beeesneees, as usual. I remember the song of Abba, Fernando.
The lyrics goes as follows: 'Can you hear the drums Fernando?' 'I remember long ago another starry night like this.'
I'm not going to write down the complete lyrics, but is 'Starry night' also possible?
'Bright sky night' doesn't seem so natural to me. I hope my intuition is right?
Thanks Alex _________________ 'Everyone can mistakes! After all, nobody's perfect.' |

'starry night' is very common, but doesn't necessarily mean the same as bright as a moonless starry night is unlikely to be very bright.
'bright sky night' is incorrect. _________________ Cheers m' dears! |
