What is it about the moon that speaks to us?

Perhaps it is that our ancestors from long long ago admired and loved that rocky orb,

and it is deep in our cells to respond somehow to its beauty.

 

 

Moon 9-26-15 0034 blog

 

Last month's super moon,

the night before the eclipse.

 

Lunar eclipse 9.27

The eclipse!

 

Earth's shadow moves across her moon.

 

Sun, Earth and Moon in perfect alignment.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

On vacation and settled into a little cottage on a clear night, on Cape Cod, without my tripod!

(These shots are a testament to the genius of the engineers who developed digital cameras.

I was able to change the "ISO" (film speed) to a whopping 1600. The only wobbly shots are the ones in total shadow.)
