The Moon over the Straits again.
- 2 August 2012 08:34185765Yes this is the path of the moon over the straits last night. I think its a full moon but everytime I say its a full moon Jeane lets me know the full moon is tomorrow or was yesterday or such. Suffice to say it looks full..but Jeane will fill me in. Jeane where are you..?
There are two cameras at work here. Im sure I had a fifth picture but suddenly cant find it...gadzooks!
I think the time has come again for another fetching out of our favourite poem..or one of our favourites..there are those by Tom right up there..back in a minute...
Yes here we are.....
Dover Beach - by Matthew Arnold
The sea is calm tonight.
The tide is full, the moon lies fair
Upon the straits; on the French coast the light
Gleams and is gone; the cliffs of England stand,
Glimmering and vast, out in the tranquil bay.
Come to the window, sweet is the night air!
Only, from the long line of spray
Where the sea meets the moon-blanched land,
Listen! you hear the grating roar
Of pebbles which the waves draw back, and fling,
At their return, up the high strand,
Begin, and cease, and then again begin,
With tremulous cadence slow, and bring
The eternal note of sadness in.email: dover7@msn.com - 2 August 2012 08:40185767looks like a full moon to me.
- 2 August 2012 08:53185772I am not sure how helpful this is (except that you may have at some time wondered what the Moon was doing at a birth)...

I live in a state of total bewilderment on this, perhaps Im affected by the moons rays whoohooo..as long as i dont start barking at the thing I should be alright! My relations wont have me put away...
lol

The moon did look full last night but yes, the next full moon is indeed tonight. - 2 August 2012 10:16185794 Thanks jeane...it looked totally full last night. Usually if its one night or other off someone can tell...but no not me
Here is a closer up view from last night..with all craters valleys etc very visible..

I've got a ticket to the moon,
I'll be leaving here any day soon,
Yeah, I've got a ticket to the moon
But I'd rather see the sunrise in your eyes.
Ah! you can't beat a bit of ELO
Your relations wont have you put away! now there's a thought PaulB ........... ''There is no dark side of the moon really, matter of fact it's all dark'' That Pink Floyd lot may be right - 2 August 2012 15:03185859http://mikenco.com/twitpics/moon.jpg

I love taking photos of the moonWork smart, not hard. - 2 August 2012 18:01185879Brilliant photos Mike
- 3 August 2012 08:04185932Well done with those Mike. Quite scientific. The full moon proper made an appearance last night but wasnt as dramatic as the night before somehow, and in short time there was cloud cover. Colette youve gone back to the glorious seventies there..the Electric Light Orchestra and Pink Floyd..we saw dem bands performing in the flesh as it were.
Heady days! We were all obsessed with moon travel those days.
