evening of august 12. 2011 bronte creek


a silver edge to every cloud
scallop-shelled out from above the very late sunset trees to the south.


a small growing point of light, it rounded and swelled, pregnant with moonbeams that lit
the small enclave of tents i was one small part of.


music for alongside the moment experiencing: "last night the moon came . . . " jon hassell

    This captures the mood and the moment. I felt as if I was out there in the moonlight, too. I love the silence of the night with punctuation of sounds.
    Last night, I sat out in candlelight.

    yes ellen - the evening of day seven of a nine-day fundraising cycling trip around lake ontario - eleven hundred kilometres - scenes and moments will pop up here every so often. steven

    aguja - the campsite was quiet - except for laughter and the crackling fire. it's so hard to take photographs of the moon. if your hand jiggles even the slightest, then the moon blurs. i did a few light paintings with that effect but they weren't worthy of much. steven

    kay - i feel fortunate to have the pictures and to be able to share them. the header picture was taken in upper new york state not far from rochester actually. it's in a small wetland that i spent a few hours exploring. steven

    You should put together an album of headers, They have the wow factor and it goes without saying that I love your moon.

    Are you all set for a new term?

    Your header is like a painting.

    The moon has such a hold over us. Never ceases to enthrall me.
