That must be why it is such a gorgeous blue then! Lovely peaceful feel to it too.

Superb composition, Dougie, and a beautiful colour.

Cheers Rob...It never ceases to amaze me that the moon is not a flat paper-like disc, but a great stonking hunk of rock whirling around the earth at about 2,300 mph...!

Humbled...

And influencing the tides, not to mention women's periods...

And apart from a lovely coloured image, it seems that our moon effects us in many ways, the way we articulately express ourselves.

The deep blue is lovely.

Talking to a local Policeman he says that they see a distinct rise in issues on a full moon.

Milan, it has an enormous pull and effect on our huge oceans...I reckon it has to influence us to some small extent...I don't think it's all folklore and mythology...
