Thank you ! Me too :)

Diamond Ring 2/2

...I'll buy you shiny
Diamond ring,
- or fetch the moon,
if that's your thing.

Say you'll be mine,
forevermore,
and I'll set sail
for lunar shore.

Diamond Ring 1/2

You mend my heart,
and make it whole.
You polish, burnish,
Blackened Soul.

You light the days,
delight my nights.
Share with, witness,
wondrous sights

I'm not an outward
sort of man
but I have hatched
a sort of plan...

Apparition 2/2

Perplexed, I swapped to the wide lens - and was astonished by this Apparition...

Apparition 1/2

As a sliver of light returned, a strange feeling overcame me... an oddness, surpassing even that of the Totality.
And try as I might, the camera simply would not focus upon the moon!

It really does. I still play it as a full album!

I did that!

*shifty eyes*

Thank you! I wanted something a little different to all the shots of the totality, and this quite appealed! :)

Thank you ! :)

Now I do too :) Happy little moon! :)

hahahaha :)

Airglow Eclipse

In the hour of totality, there was still a lot of light.
Curious, I pointed the second camera to the south - and discovered quite a vibrant airglow in effect.

Totality

The one you knew was coming, :)
The dark of the moon.

See? Peaceful!! :D

HAHAHHAHA

Thank you :) I like to capture scenes that make me think a little, feel a little. :)

Thank you very much! :)

I do like that little feature :)

It was exactly that kind of peace and quiet, a kind of evening that makes you feel at one with the world.

The Benmore Range and the Belt of Venus

Dusk slips across the land, and the blue sky fades to purples and grey.
The world slows, stills, and is hushed. All is peace.

Moonset over the Ranges

A setting moon chases the sunset across the horizon, in their forever game of cat and mouse.

Snaking across the landscape

Liquid Electricity curves across the landscape, on its slow journey to the factory where they stick it into the wires.

I can dig it!

(but.. uhh.. not too deeply! )

Pretty cool!!

I think there's more resemblance to North Cal, around Sonoma.
Similar grasses. (But they need more mountains :) )

The Djinn

An apparition appears, gigantic and mighty, formed of twists of vapour and unseen power.
"Traveller", it booms, "What is your Wish?"

Manuka Terrace

Terraces to Foothills to Mountains, up and up and up.
It's a pretty place to live.
