Went looking for the (essentially) full moon tonight, but froze my butt off atop Windsor Mountain, with temps in the single digits and a consistent westerly wind of indeterminate speed. Suffice it to say that my many layers, from micro-pile undies to down coat, were insufficient.
The moon was playing hard-to-get, but you know, as a “real” photographer (and a guy who paced a mean track in the snow trying to stay conscious) I happened to look around, and snagged this “consolation prize” :
Never piss on a sunset while you’re waiting for the moon.
Little Bang Theory 
that’s a great quote!
What a beautiful picture! Isn’t amazing how a field of snow can look like waves of water in this light?
I agree with Sherry. Maybe Cafe Press will do a t-shirt for you!
Beautiful pic. We got to see the eclipse from the comfort of our living room. As it was -15 outside, I was pretty happy ’bout that.
Stunning photo and I featured your closing line at my place. Love it!
Yes he did feature your line indeed! Paul the Byziwhatsit that is!!
This is amazing. Like always.
Like you.
Sherry, Jess, thanks – just fell out of my sleep-addled mouth. But yeah, it says what I meant, what I felt at the time.
notfainthearted, welcome to my world, and yes, it looks to me like the tilting surface of a monstrous storm at sea, transposed against the woods of where I live.
Paul, thank you. I saw that and was humbled. Strong words of praise from such high places are more than I deserve.
And Fran, my friend, you’re too kind. Like always!
