Thou silver deity of secret night,
Direct my footsteps through the woodland shade;
Thou conscious witness of unknown delight,
The Lover's guardian, and the Muse's aid!
By thy pale beams I solitary rove,
To thee my tender grief confide;
Serenely sweet you gild the silent grove,
My friend, my goddess, and my guide. E'en thee, fair queen, from thy amazing height,
The charms of young Endymion drew;
Veil'd with the mantle of concealing night;
With all thy greatness and thy coldness too.
Lady Mary Wortley Montagu, A Hymn to the Moon

Look at that moon. Potato weather for sure.
Thornton Wilder, Our Town

John, in 1969, NASA apparently has chosen the wrong landing spot on the moon for the meanwhile late Neil Armstrong.
If he had landed at a spot such as perfectly depicted by you, he probably wouldn't have wanted to return to Earth, 😁!
Again a beautiful render of you, carefully framed in the form of well chosen/selected quotes and music links.

Beautiful per usual John. I thought you might like this version of Fly Me To The Moon.
I enjoyed your music selections.
Your creation makes me think the moon was worth going to and perhaps returning.
Have a good weekend.

People are like cameras--sometimes they lose focus.

My thanks to all who leave comments for my work and to those of you who like one enough to make it a favourite. To touch just one person that way makes each image worthwhile. . . . . . . . . .. . . . "The question is not what you look at, but what you see" ~ Marcel Proust
