O, La Luna






Poor misshapen moon
Cradled by the clouds
Is she not lovely, la luna

I saw that same moon last night. It was HUGE, but I didn't get a picture of it..

Nina said...

bear maiden: Yes! And this was actually taken three nights ago.

fotoface said...

and there are so many pictures
yet the camera not always at hand.

Nina said...

fotoface: I love the full moon. You are so right about the pictures! It's getting so I feel nakie if I leave the house without the camera. :)

What a great photo! I heard a piece this week on the StarDate radio program about last week's huge moon. I didn't realize that it's called the Harvest Moon since it provides farmers with much needed additional light during fall harvest especially in more northern locations. It was a great little piece. When I got home from work, I looked up and was wowed by it's brilliance.

btw...I'm tagging you. I hope that is okay. Only do it you'd like. I was tagged by my friend at Okie Okasan. She's got a great blog. My tidbits are here.

annie: Thank you, Annie, I'm glad you came to see it. :) Were you seeing the moon in the morning sky? I think that is one of the most interesting things--we are so conditioned to have everything in its place: sun in the morning and the moon at night.

Nina said...

small glimpses: Thank you very much. :) We have a couple windows where the full moon shines right into the rooms. The harvest moon is amazing, isn't it?

Hmm, a tag. Thanks for thinking of me. I will say that I *may* be able to do it, if I can invent a form in which to write it. An intriguing idea. But, with my recent history and current schedule, I have to say it will be at least a week before that can happen. :)

That's a cool shot. The Moon reflecting on the canal is one of my joys. I feel the magic, the gravity pull... you get some of that lovely luna mystery pull in the photo - something I never manage to do.

Nina said...

david: I love your description. The moon really is irresistible, isn't it? Do you have the type of view to get photos of the moon reflected? That would be my mission.
