There’s a time of day where the details on the lunar surface, the clouds and the diffracted blue of the early evening sky all come together to be captured in a single image.

I wonder how many people bothered to look up, let alone see or notice our beautiful moon sliced perfectly in half.

There is also a little nostalgia behind this image. The very first image in my 1000 images collection (not quite there yet) was also a perfect half moon.

Sometimes half measures are just right.
