The sunset last night was glorious again, and the crescent moon hanging up there just added to my delight.
As I pointed my camera to capture moon above the setting sun I saw a jet stream glowing pink and giving the impression that the plane might have recently left the moon! (Ok, my imagination at work on that one!)
As I quickly tried out different compositional frames the silhouettes of the trees at the bottom of my garden seemed to provide a pleasing base and I clicked.
I love this image.
I love the glow of the sun, the sliver of moon, the pink trail from the plane, and I love the bare branches of the trees stretching upwards. That almost scraggy tree might not look like much but I can’t tell you just how much the birds around here like it. It is by far and away the most popular place to hang out for passing flocks of goldfinches, blue tits, blackcaps, thrushes, starling, sparrows….
Red sky at night, shepherds (or sailors) delight.
An image of hope in this weekend of sadness and distress…..
Lovely words and picture… hope is what this world needs, and peace….
