It's a full moon today - the Wolf Moon. Driving home (this was about 6.30pm) I was so struck by the beauty of the moonlit landscape that I had to stop the car and look at it properly. In the above photo you can see the Wolf Moon shining down on the wayside manor-house and the cedar tree and the deep swift-flowing river.
The combination of silvers and blues was breathtaking.
It's a reminder that for all our post-agrarian post-industrial virtual-society sophistication, the phases of the moon still appear in the sky just as they appeared to our paleolithic ancestors.
