Last evening on a trip out to dinner, a large orange harvest moon made its appearance, hanging low against the dark sky. It was a treat. Nature's night show. I find shadows especially appealing in the fall, as mother nature slowly begins to close her door on another year. Sometimes it's the mighty lunar orb, just hanging early in the night. Sometimes, it's even more simple. It the morning low light along a golden carpet. Either way, it's very soothing in some sort of unexplained way. Just enjoy... the day closes so quickly.

ReplyDeleteAn special night for sure and I agree with your words, the day closes so quickly mainly this time of the year.

ReplyDeleteGreat shadow photo... This time of year, when it gets dark so quickly, it does make me think that I'm running out of time.

The sky was clear here too last night and we had wonderful moonshadows across our floor! (Ode to Cat Stevens)
ReplyDeleteYes, moonlight is more like a spotlight in fall.
ReplyDeleteVery fine, artsy photograph! Good eye!
ReplyDeleteThe days do pass so quickly.
ReplyDeleteThat's art. And isn't the evening light in autumn and winter gorgeous?
ReplyDeleteGreat post. We had a soft white ring around the moon Thursday night which the weather man explained was made from ice crystals refracting the light. Lovely, like your photo. I didn't get a photo of the ring around the moon--I was on the way to the Laurelhurst Theater to see "Rear Window."
ReplyDeleteIt's a Rorschach blot. It looks like motion, like flight. Reminds me of the logo of Mexicana airlines.
ReplyDeletewhat a beautiful way to share the experience with us...by showing us not the moon, but the shadow it casts. you invite us all to create that moon in our imaginations. wonderful post, bird.
