bad moon rising


here's a photo i just took of the full moon rising over Lone Peak. i couldn't quite get it to look exactly like it did, but the ones i took with the film camera are probably much better. it was less blindingly white, as this photo shows it, and more pale yellowish-blue, with wisps of cirrus clouds streaking across it; and the faintest hint of the mountain illuminated below it.

simply gorgeous.

who photoshopped the little paper cutout houses below all that goddamn majesty? seriously, quite the stark contrast between that unreal sphere above those ghostly peaks and what lies below/beneath.

damn good photo jb.

thanks, CC.
yeah, it was a great view...and the houses looked photoshopped in even in real life...

the moon looks so huge here sometimes...otherworldly...

Luis said...

are the people inside photoshopped too? is this place real? where do the aliens live?

j.b said...

no, Luis...the people inside are actually cardboard cutouts.

this photograph is of a place that does not actually exist. it is of a place that exists only in the deep recesses of my imagination.

the aliens, however, are real.
O_o

I wish I lived in one of those houses... I could go to sleep watching that moon every night... that'd be every kind of glorious...
