God’s Thumbnail

As seen from the Upper West Side, this photo was taken on January 9, 2011.

I once read the description ‘God’s Thumbnail’ for this moon shape. 

I don’t remember where I read it but have always liked the description.

I love to look up in the sky and find the moon watching me.

Chasing the Moon

December 5, 2009 | Filed Under New York Moon | 14 Comments 

I’ve been chasing the moon the past few days.  Early Tuesday morning, I was walking my dog when we saw a ginormous moon, very low to the earth.   I felt as if I could walk right up to the moon and touch it.   It was gigantic!  Enormous!  It seemed so close to me.  Very close.  Unfortunately, I didn’t have my camera with me.   I cut the walk short to run back home and get my camera.  I know my poor dog wondered why we turned around so soon. 

 

When I came back outside, with camera in hand, the moon had disappeared.   Disappointment!  The next three days — Wednesday, Thursday and Friday — I made sure to take my camera out with me when I walked the dog.  I chased the moon from 6 to 7 in the morning — high above the buildings, behind the buildings, in between the streets,  over the Hudson River, in between the bare tree branches.  I finally got a few shots.

 

I never did see that ginormous moon again but  next time, I’ll be prepared when it makes another appearance.

The Moon. Again.

Regular readers know that I like to take photos of the moon.  You’ll find lots of moon shots on this blog. Sorry, I can’t help myself.   ;-)

I took these photos Wednesday morning around 7a.m.  I almost missed the opportunity because it was a very cloudy and blue morning.  I didn’t see the moon, since it hid behind clouds.  Then all of a sudden, it appeared over the apartment building, only to disappear within a minute or so.  What a fun experience watching it move.

June (of Spatter) has an awesome moon shot seen at noon.  Go check it out here!  I love it.

Have a good day, all.
