Two Very Different Sky Photos

taken today.  Well, it's past midnight now, so technically it's yesterday.

#1. Taken earlier in the evening -- what a show!  Looks like fireworks going off, no?











 #2. Then, a little later, a diametrically opposed image -- cool and serene, the object of my unrequited love, in the waxing phase:




Li Bai the Chinese poet loved the drink, and he loved the Moon.  On the last night of his life he was out boating on a lake while drunk, and he drowned trying to embrace the reflected Moon in the water.  I fear/love the possibility of my meeting an analogous fate.
