The camera in my picture is pretty much eye level. Tall grass.; 11/18/10, 7:40 PM
HKatz said...: The grass is almost tall enough to touch the moon. Aside from the colors, that's what I like best about this photo; the grass itching at the sky.; 11/18/10, 7:50 PM

HKatz, if you aren't a writer, you should be. That's an evocative turn of phrase.; 11/18/10, 7:54 PM

coketown said...: Oh don't get me wrong. I always love your pictures. I don't always love the cinematographer of the Harry Potter movies. I hear he dropped out the the last few installments because "he didn't want to repeat himself." I think he should have been more concerned about repeating other people.; 11/18/10, 8:39 PM
Lem Vibe Bandit said...: What?

Althouse ran for the tall grass?

I'm disappointed ;); 11/18/10, 8:41 PM

After stumbling out of bed
On the way to a 3 AM leak.
He knew he was supposed to
Feel something but a pressing matter
Took precedence, so to speak.; 11/18/10, 9:03 PM
Unknown said...: If the camera was at eye level, I'd say more than one moon was rising.
