Full Moon and stormy sky

 

The full Moon over Sands Lane Oulton Broad. compilation of two images taken with a Canon 600d DSLR and zoom lens at f=200mm.

Racing clouds and the full Moon rising over the 'One Stop' shop on Sands Lane. Later, the clouds parted  to show a very bright Jupiter leading the Moon across the sky and the constellation Orion striding across the south-east horizon. Sometimes the sky is packed with drama but sometimes it can be the calmest place to lose your troubles.

We don't want another hero and Medusa didn't want another bad hair day either!

 

Andromeda, by Perseus sav'd and wed,

Hanker'd each day to see the Gorgon's head:

Till o'er a fount he held it, bade her lean,

And mirror'd in the wave was safely seen

That death she liv'd by. 

 Let not thine eyes know

Any forbidden thing itself, although

It once should save as well as kill: but be

Its shadow upon life enough for thee.
