365 project 2013 Day 007... connected

We're both looking at the same moon, in the same world. We're connected to reality by the same line. All I have to do is quietly draw it towards me.”

― Haruki Murakami, Sputnik Sweetheart

Day 167... eclipse

Thy shadow, Earth, from Pole to Central Sea,

Now steals along upon the Moon's meek shine

In even monochrome and curving line Of imperturbable serenity.

How shall I link such sun-cast symmetry

With the torn troubled form I know as thine,

That profile, placid as a brow divine,

With continents of moil and misery?

— Thomas Hardy, 'At a Lunar Eclipse'

This project has me doing things that I would never normally do... this morning when I got up, it was dark outside, it was cold outside... I was up over an hour earlier than I ever get up and the reason was to capture the Lunar Eclipse.

I managed to get some shots in between the clouds and I enjoyed the eclipse... I didn't enjoy the cold!

Day 164...

Aim for the moon. If you miss, you may hit a star.

W. Clement Stone

 

Tonight I aimed for the moon and was able to capture it... not my first moon shot and it won't be the last as tonight's shot is preparation for Thursday morning when there will be a lunar eclipse, I am hoping for fine skies so I can capture it even if it does mean getting out of bed very, very early....

Day 97... city bridge

A beautiful Autumn night in Adelaide... the sliver of the moon sat in the sky.

Once in the city I headed to the River Torrens, to photograph the City Bridge, opened since 1856

 This is a beautiful bridge and it is not just the area over the water that captures the eye...

Captain Jolley's paddleboats also drew the eye...

As I wandered along the river, I listened to the sound of the piano... there have been a number of pianos randomly placed around the city for people to sit and play, I was lucky enough to have someone play



For Tammy....

Shoot for the moon and if you miss you will still be among the stars.

Not the best quality shots but I saw the sliver of the moon through the trees on my way home from work and had to stop...

Day 21.... so far but yet so close

I have never shot the moon before but after a day of little inspiration when I left work tonight at 11.30 I had a choice between city lights and the moon... the moon felt right and I am happy with the end result
