It was more impressive in reality than in this photo taken with my phone. The sky was cloudless, but there was some fog. The moon was minutes from setting when Tasha and I went outside on Tuesday morning. I realized what was going on and took a couple of quick snapshots with the phone.
The garden shed at moon set (and sunrise at my back). That ivy is scheduled to be removed this winter.
We're enjoying a warm spell. The mornings are quite chilly, but the days are dry and pleasant. Having said that, I did put a fire in the wood stove yesterday morning and kept it burning until early evening. It felt nice.
Look up moon illusion. Usually the moon looks small when directly vertical and enormous when it's on the horizon. It's an optical illusion. The 2d camera flattens it all and the moon looks the same anywhere
ReplyDeleteA mystical photo. We’ve had all the windows open in recent days, and closed later in the day when temps hit 30-ish (C of course).
ReplyDeleteThat's a new door on the shed, right?
ReplyDeleteWe are suddenly dipping in temperatures... 48° F when I got up this morning, at 7! It'll get up to low 70s, and this weekend, up to 80-ish, but fall temps are here!
Nice moment.
