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.

Larry Davis replied
Thanks mate.
No…Twas Venus… Your right.
And it was a crystal night.
TheBlindHog
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.
