Triple Moon

As I opened the curtains to look at the moon I got this strange triple view due I think, to the double glazing on the window.

Vapour Tail

06.00 ... the, now not full, moon in a frost morning sky lights up a vapour trail at about 36000 feet

Halloween Moon

I know that it is early but the full moon was just too good a chance to miss ...

From 'The Rime of the Ancyent Marinere'

The moving Moon went up the sky.
And nowhere did abide;
Softly she was going up,
And a star or two beside-

By Samuel Taylor Coleridge (1772-1834)

22/10/10 - Slowly, silently now the moon ...

Slowly, silently now the moon ...

The moon, big and bright ... looking south ...

Silver:

Slowly, silently, now the moon
Walks the night in her silver shoon;
This way, and that, she peers, and sees
Silver fruit upon silver trees;
One by one the casements catch
Her beams beneath the silvery thatch;
Couched in his kennel, like a log,
With paws of silver sleeps the dog;
From their shadowy coat the white breasts peep
Of doves in a silver-feathered sleep;
A harvest mouse goes scampering by,
With silver claws, and silver eye;
And moveless fish in the water gleam,
By silver reeds in a silver stream.

- Walter de la Mare
