La Bella Luna

I believe it was the full moon last. Although I didn't get any great photo captures last night, I did wake up to find that it was still hanging around low in the sky.

A mere 240,000 miles away, it seems closer when in this phase.

Crazy as a "lune"? Looney-Toones? Lunatic? The history of the moon and mankind goes back to the beginning. It was said to make men crazy, to act differently. Maybe it was because it shed bright white light in times when there was no white light available from a plug in the wall. Torches and campfires are yellow light.

The moon...one of the timeless treasures within our reach...there for the taking. Crazy, huh?
