Moon over Purdown.

Heavy as harvest, the moon hangs over Purdown. But this is the hunger moon, January's pale, pocked ghost of plenty.

A crucifix, tricked with sodium halo, stair-rod arms and mandarin's hat. We sit at the world's edge, not Jerusalem, skilless of iconography.

Saturn broods in his panopticon, his dark star sucking light. Death is his meditation, the universe his pipe, and Opis shines in vain.

Gorgeous pic and lovely words.

Sadly, we had 100% cloud cover last night.

That´s beautiful. The heavy hunger moon hanging out in such a well-smelling universe. I only oppose to that camera, not the view.
