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.
~ 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)

A little night magic! Nice SWF!
Hi Gemma. Wonderful pictures. Just the moon and you very dramatic and mysterious.
Nice night shots. I really like the first one. Those night time photos are difficult to capture. Nice job.
Fabulous shots as always, I love these night shots.
Cheers and Happy New Year!

Wonderful captures.
Beautiful photos. The moon photos are so magical and powerful. As yours are so.
Have a nice weekend and happy skywatching!
Great effect. I am not so lucky when I try to take photos of the moon.
Gemma, that is a very cool shot! Love the tree silhouetted! Awesome!
Great atmospheric moon shots. Great photos.
There's a bit of magic about I think!
Thanks for dropping by!

How nice to see night pictures... "clouds injected with moonlight"
Beautiful.
A litle spooky picture :) Nice shot!
The photos are fabulous and there is just something quiet eerie and at the same time spectacular about the colours in the photos.
Happy SWF.

Fantastic magical pictures!
I really like your night shots Gemma! Enchanting...
Hi, Unique SWF shots. I've tried very few night shots. After seeing yours, I now want to go outside into the dark and experiment. You've got some interesting lighting effects in these. Thanks for stopping by. Cheers.
Very nice ! I know taking pictures of a night sky is very difficult !
There's a bit of magic I think, beautiful pictures
Impressive shots of the moon, Gemma! And beautiful poetical words too. I cannot take photos at night. Thank you for sharing yours!
A night-time venture in moonlight - always a pleasure when seen like this.
I love the night shots! Our moon was gorgeous last night too, and I hope it'll be the same tonight. It's almost good enough for a moonlight ride in the bush!
Warm greetings from West Africa,
Esther
Moonlight is so mysterious and the night is so black it just add to the drama.
Aah!
"Slowly, silently, now the moon,
Walks the night in her silver shoon;
This way, and that, she peers, and sees
Silver fruit upon silver trees..."
Walter de la Mare
Beautiful magical pictures ! ! !
Have a nice weekend.

P-TER
I always like this kind of mysterious moon shots. Great!
Have a good weekend.
The lights on the ground level are very special in the moon photo, makes it even more mysterious.
These are AWESOME SkyWatch shots! They really do look quite magical.
that really is a magical shot!
Wow! The sky looks really menacing.
great work!
Great drama in both images. I especially love the first one. A night for the spirits. You braved it and went out to catch the atmosphiere.... and lived to tell the tail (so to speak).
Very nice! I like the first one. The silhouette of the tree really seems to make the glow of the moon stand out.
Great captures and a good swf.
These are very dreamlike. Nice job capturing this in the dark!
Great night shots! Very moody, I just can't decide if they seem romantic or suspenseful to me.
Happy SWF!
Oh, Gemma, these are just awesome! The moon is magical! And I love your haiku!
Lovely night photo and wonderful haiku ;--)
Hugs and blessings,
It almost looks like a UFO. :)
