La Lune

Those of you interested in celestial matters will already know that there's been a super moon in our sky the last few days. On the day of the actual full moon — that would be Sunday — we had a fog here in Helsinki that obscured the view and negated pretty much any small chance of seeing the moon. Some people ended up hopping on a vehicle in search of our little companion. Me? I just stood by the sea and contented myself with a few misty shots instead.

Monday was not much more successful in terms of moon-gazing. However, yesterday evening, as I was typing up the Gen Silent post, Dad phoned and told me to come outside; he had found the moon, lurking behind a cloud cover and rising fast. Grabbed my camera and off I went... to be snacked upon by mosquitoes. Funnily enough, I took the best shots after I had already given up and begun to trudge back inside but happened to glance back anyway. Luna had decided to come out of hiding.
