The moon in the sky
I have been trying to shoot a really sharp picture of the moon for ages, and I think I am getting close. I shot this on a bright and clear night a few days ago, just before the moon became full.
Waxing moon
A lovely waxing moon was spotted above my house early this evening. Even though this is my Cape Town shot, you should all be able to see a similar moon tonight, so in a strange way it unifies us all. Enjoy the rest of the weekend.
First Quarter
Are your animals influenced by the moon? Mine are. Tonight the moon is in its first quarter. So I have about 3 weeks until my dogs go crazy. I don’t know why, but every full moon my dogs (OK just Calvin and Emily) bark at everything, they run around like mad, and they demand extra attention. And yes, far more than usual.
While I don’t believe in Astrology, there is a lunar influence in my animals. It reminds me of the song Zodiac Thrill by my old band Elephant Sun. Let me know what you think below.
Day 65: Moon reflecting off the sea
A full moon reflecting off the sea early in the morning. The picture was
taken with my iPhone while out training for the Argus Cycle Tour. I can’t
take my SLR on my bicycle, so the phone had to do:-)

walking on the moon (The Police)
It was forty years ago today, that Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin landed on the moon. Apollo 11, was the first lunar landing, and the 5th Apollo manned mission. Think of the progress we have made since then:
- satellites
- satellite TV
- GPS
- satellite phone
- space stations
- probes to Mars
- satellite mapping of the entire earth (think Google Earth)
