Moon

I missed all the Lunar Eclipse and Blood Moon excitement but last night, I did catch the orangey moon on the rise. It was very low early evening...

The camera didn't pick up the colour  - but on the phone, while less defined pictures, you get an idea of the colour.

It was bright like the one the morning before. 

At bedtime it was white again and high in the sky but Saturn was shining bright next to it. I couldn't catch it with my camera or my phone, but if you look carefully, there is a spec on the right of the moon. That's Saturn. To the eye however, it was so bright and visible. 

It got me thinking about AI travel plans and Instagram pics. If you rely on the these to organise your itinerary, you only see the 'must sees' where as for me, it's the quirks of a destination that make it worthwhile. I don't understand the appeal - in the same way I might get a travel agent to sort my flights, and maybe my accommodation, I rarely want or need their suggestions for the in between. There's too many crazy things out there I don't want to miss!

We were all told to watch the moon the night before but it was interesting last night as well, yet most people would have missed it!

Investigation and curiosity are what makes for the best experiences, and at times rewarding surprises....These are what make our humanness so special.

If you can't see it in the pics, this is the clearest.
