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, Selene, in the waxing phase:

Li Bai, the Chinese poet, loved the Moon, and he loved the drink. 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.

Lucky Me

Another "Moon Balancing" shot. But the difference is, I didn't have to go outside to take it -- I took it right from my balcony just now. I just went to close the blinds, and there she was!

Discomforting

A very discomforting image of the Moon. Some adjectives come to mind, all of them reminiscent of my personal fears, such as -- stuck, wedged, forced, imprisoned, suffocating, tight, locked-in, wrong side down...

Full Moon

From several nights ago.

Or was it the Sun?

I don't remember.

Spooky Moon

Yes, definitely a little spooky... but still also kind of cute^ Makes me think of a cat or puppy play-nipping, or maybe your six-year old brother or nephew jumping out and going "Boo!"
