Hot August Moon

Hot August Moon

We had an eclipse of the moon the other night.
So I thought I would try to fly to it. But the clouds got in my way, and I lost direction.
Well this is the result after a play with PhotoImpact.

    The clouds appear in other images of yours. Are they computer generated ? They appear illuminated by moonlight but its an eclipse. Very nice alluring image though.

    Beautiful shot. The wisps of cloud and the blood orange coloration give it an Old World feel to me. This is a moon under which to tell ghost stories. Great shot!

  • Larry Davis replied

    Thanks mate.
    Following the eclipse on thet night, there wasn’t a sound or breeze, as I was the only one on a dark country road, and the sky was just brilliant.
