… maybe even a blue moon.
Last weekend was mummy-weekend again … and I arrived to Simrishamn with the train just after 5pm on Friday. A bitterly cold day and the wind that Simrishamn always have on offer – doesn’t make the chill easier to accept.
The moon was already up as started my short walk on my usual path from the station. Thought I will give it ago and try to catch moon somehow. It”s not easy to take photos with gloves on and it wasn’t much easier to handle the camera without – my hands turned blue before I decided enough is enough. Took about 30 photos, but this is only what become wroth posting. Not easy to catch the moon or the moonlight, but I have become slightly better or luckier.

simply ask the moon.”

Those photos are hauntingly romantic, as if they came out of a gothic romance 😀

Thank you – it was a very strange moonlight .. so early in day too. Yes, you’re right it’s a gothic moon.
I loved hearing the scratches on the music! I miss that about records 🙂
Yes, it’s from a vinyl …. very old recording – I like that scratches too. Have a friend that still have all his old records and he play them all the time. We are getting sentimental when we are getting “older”
I remember how wonderful we all thought CDs were because of the sound quality; but they just don’t have the same atmosphere as an album and an album cover.
You are so right …. and now we don’t even buy CD anymore .. not me – download from Itune … how sad has we become.
Great shots! That first one is magnificent! I love the music, perfect. 🙂
Thank you, Colleen. It was a very strange moon …. just like a big lamp. It’s wasn’t clear. Somebody once told me that if we take a photo of a single item .. try to have something in the foreground like a tree or something. That I was told in 1979 and it stills live with me – the picture become more interesting.
I love this colour of the sky… so beautiful dear Viveka, Thank you, have a nice week, love, nia
Nia, thank you so much ….. same to you! Have a great week.
Love the twilight shades of the first one! But they are all gorgeous.
Madhu, thank you so much .. *smile – very strange early evening.
I think these photos came out brilliant… I love the shot of the sea shore with the moon reflection…
it’s not the sea shore .. it’s the path I was walking on … *smile – sorry, about that. Maybe I should I left you with that image of the sea.
Cheers Wivi, now I’ve got to listen to my Dad singing Blue Moon all evening!
Don’t be so hard on your dad *smile .. but I should have known!
Nice pics and great song choice!
Thanks a million!
Wonderful images, Viveka. Love that song to bits and pieces. Thanks for the memories. 🙂
Thank you so much … *smile I like the song, remember it from my teens.
It’s a huge challenge taking a photo of the moon, without a tripod it’s almost impossible. Well done, Viveka, and your photo also has such a “feeling” to it as well! xx
I know … every time we have full moon I have a go at it – I normal use a fens or something to support the camera, but it’s nearly impossible without tripod. This time I was a bit more lucky. *smile It was a very strange full moon ..
I love the first one with the softness of the moon through the tree branches.
Thank you .. that was the easiest to take … because there was something else to put the focus one. I like that one too.
The moon can be very tricky to get, you did a good job with these.
