Monet morning moon

Thanks for the shot! I knew it was going to be beautiful - I saw the moon out around 3 this morning - but just wasn't able to get up and away from the neighborhood in time, in other words, I was sleeping.

Moon over Kentucky. Take me with you. Leave this mooring and seek a rendezvous over Wisconsin.

My office faces west, and I was in long before sunrise, and the moon was a great thing to look at.

I was out in our backyard with our dog at 6:30 this morning. We're on the Florida gulf coast and our back is about 2 miles off of Sarasota Bay, facing the bay...and the moon. It gave us a soft light to go with the solar landscape lights. It was beautiful. A very smooth way to start the week.

The photograph revealed something about color that the eye adjusted to more moon-like colors.

Behind me was the sun, just rising, and to my eye, it looked quite orange. But when I turned toward the moon, in the west, it seemed moon-y white against a gray-blue sky. The eye did not register all the orangeness that you see in the photograph, perhaps because it was so much less orange than the eastern sky and perhaps because the mind, which knows the moon to be moon-colored, imposed its filter.

If I am on trial, and I say to the court: I reject your claims to authority over me but I recognize your power over me, and in light of this power I acquise.

Would this constitute contempt of court?

All those color corrections on your camera are to deal with the eye's tendency to false color based on background - a tendency in service of perceiving a constant color through all sorts of background changes.

Helps in detecting poison berries, probably.

Cameras are not very good at capturing what the eye can see, or think's it can see. Our dynamic range is much higher than the camera. Here is the image after white-balancing. https://www.dropbox.com/s/uy2a0hdvr2gamzd/48896779768_cde915c513_o.jpg
