The Moon...in Pictures


"The moon is a silver pin-head vast, That holds the heaven's tent-hangings fast."

-William R. Alger

A few nights ago I was driving home and struck by the beauty of a full moon. How many times have you looked up at the moon in awe? One of the things I like to think about when gazing at the moon is this - that as much as man has changed over time, thousands of years ago, "primitive" man looked up with wonder in much the same way.

I particularly enjoyed this set called "I heart the moon" by Ben.

  1. Breathtaking photos! I remember seeing the full moon a couple days ago out of our hotel room. We were on the 14th floor and the moon was in full view from the balcony. I never grow tired of it.

  2. Beautiful pictures. The other morning (it was still dark) I stepped outside and the moon was HUGE and glowing almost orange. It really struck me.

  3. Thanks Amanda and Carla - I love these two. Sometimes it's so wonderful to find beauty in the things that are literally right over our heads!
