A beautiful full moon at Wirrialpa Station
we were tempted to howl at it
but curbed our enthusiasm for fear
of upsetting the farm dogs
no wonder primitive people were frightened
when they were robbed of the light of the full moon
even for us it was mildly eerie
watching the eclipse.

ReplyDeleteFantastic!! And, yes, I'd want to howl at that moon, too!! Have a great weekend, Arija!!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful shots especially the top one; thanks for sharing my friend. =0)
ReplyDeleteGreat sky
ReplyDeleteAmazing shots and I love the commentary as well. Nicely done.
ReplyDeleteYou were at the perfect place to witness it. I'd have liked to hear that howl, Arija!
ReplyDeleteSeems the desire to howl comes from our Pleistocene souls. What a delightful night.
ReplyDeleteAn amazing cap for a perfect vacation. I'm in awe of your pictures and a tad envious that you saw the eclipse. I couldn't stay up ... It was around three a.m here. Thank you for sharing.

ReplyDeleteGreat to see these things. Our farm dogs used to howl on moonlit nights without any human encouragement; in fact, despite a good deal of discouragement. Most astronomical wonders are usually hidden by clouds in this country.
ReplyDeleteWow - what a gorgeous sight!
ReplyDeleteGreat shots. I was singing along to that song we stared the words of.
ReplyDeleteGreat moon images. And that first photo, I love the surroundings.
ReplyDeleteGreat captures of the moon.
ReplyDeleteLove the sense of tranquility in that first shot - the colours in the sky are so soft!
ReplyDeleteOh wow, I love that last capture!
ReplyDeleteHad to laugh at your comment about howling at the moon!! Very cool.
