Waxing Moon


2 views of the Moon taken today, a couple of hours apart.

The feelings these images generate in my mind are polar opposites.  While the first one may make the Moon seem to be in a somewhat precarious position, balancing on and sliding down a cable, at least it's still resting on a thick sturdy baseline.  It's the playful instability of a playground slide.  Whereas in the second photo the Moon is floating free, lonely and untethered with no support, inviting anxious comparison against the firm solidity of the construction in the foreground.
