For some reason this week the moon seemed incredibly bright and I was able to shoot three totally different photos of the moon.

On Thursday night the moon was bright, but wrapped in a blanket of clouds and the photo looked more like a surreal painted scene.

On Friday I photographed the moon at sunset with the sun reflecting brightly on the face of the moon except for the edge of the earth’s shadow.

On Saturday I was able to capture the moon just as it was passing over my tall Colorado spruce tree.

Oops! It appears I wasn’t the only one who was shooting the moon this week.

 Le Voyage dans la lune!

A salute to Georges Méliès who started it all

by creating, directing and starring in 555 short films.

All between 1896 and 1905.
