Wandering in midnight heavens
Night's silvered shadow

The lost glass slipper

THE MEANING OF AUTUMN
AUTUMN is the bridesmaid of Summer and the flowergirl of Winter
AUTUMN whispers the tones of yesterday in a minor key
AUTUMN is an introspective season, when stray thoughts of the mind dive into the mystique of the soul
- Gemma Wiseman
AUSTRALIA ~ The Antipodes
I love a sunburnt country / A land of sweeping plains / Of ragged mountain ranges / Of droughts and flooding rains / I love her far horizons / I love her jewel-sea / Her beauty and her terror / The wide brown land for me / ~ Dorothea Mackellar (1885-1968)

How amazing! I have often tried to photograph the moon and it always comes out over-exposed. This picture makes me think of the unity of the Earth - I look at the moon - and so do you, right on the other side of the world! It's the same moon - it's the same world.
I love the music too - please tell me how to do that. I'd like to have some music on my blog but have no clue how to go about it (!)
That is an amazing photograph. When combined with the poem and music, it is almost unbelievably beautiful
What a beautiful moon shot ;)
gem, that photo is spectacular,, and the vision of the moon as our god mother is very inspiring.....
How lovely.

Happy MM! Remarkable photo & poem...
I invite your blog readers to see my tribute to the Negro Space Program!
peace, Villager
Gorgeous shot, I tried on mine, lol will try again tomorrow night.
Okay you gotta tell me how you managed to keep the detail in the foreground and not have the moon completely overexposed. Even shooting a double exposure on film I can't imagine how you could've done that. Not with a foreground subject as mobile as a tree. C'mon, dish! I'm heading out tonight for a full-moon-over-the-lake shot, and it would be really helpful to know.
Wow, that is a great photo. There is nothing like the cool and calmness of the moon.
The music and poem fit so beautifully with your picture. Thanks for my peaceful moment of the night!
