“Drink in the moon as though you might die of thirst.”
—Sanober Khan
I recently make a trek to my local park to photograph the sunset and the moonrise, both on opposite sides of a pond. I tried something different, listening to music in my earbuds. It felt more immersive, and private. I even found a secluded spot under an oak tree to do a little light dancing (recovery and aging sucks).
So come with me, dear friends, to visit golden light hitting my little town, and see how the harvest full moon looked as it emerged from the clouds. Please do let me know if you have a favorite image, and I truly hope you have a fantastic week!
- These photos were taken with my Olympus E-M1 MarkII with a 25mm lens and edited with Lightroom Classic.
Beautiful photos!
Thank you!!
A fantastic gallery Bridgette. I like the moon and clouds best
Thanks! It was a really remarkable seeing the moon coming through those clouds.
Beautiful photos
Thanks! I’m so glad you liked them.
wonderful series…our moon view was similar with various hues of scattered clouds
Lovely! It was really such a spectacular sight.
I accepted your invitation and savoured not just the harvest moon, but the other mesmeric offerings along the way: the birds crossing a changing sky, the sun spilling its last gold along the horizon, the fading grasses and the and the determined moon taking possession of the night.
A beautiful evening, beautifully seen.
I’m so happy to share these photos with you and I’m glad you took my invitation and enjoyed the walk. It’s a great reminder of the magic in everyday things.
#16 with a spirit tree in the foreground, and #25 is awesome and seems almost alive.
Oh, thank you! It felt good to be back to photographing the full moon and I’m glad you liked those.
Okay, a reload did the trick. I think your poetry of 100 days has positively affected your photography. I usually grab pen/paper to note the ones I like, but here I was jotting down every number! I like the composition of #2 and the nuanced colors of #24/header. But all of them are so good.
What an interesting thought, my poetry influencing my photography, but I think you are right. I feel like it’s positively effected a lot of things in my life, even if it was really hard to do each day.
Are they not just visual poems?
I suppose they are!
