*Runs outside to have a look* (Brr it's chilly out!)
It took me a minute to find the moon, LOL, it was really low and hiding behind a bunch of trees. It sure is big and bright though. Maybe I'll try to go take a digi pic too.
Despite the thousands of miles that seperate us all, we all share the same night sky. Truly amazing to think about really.
Very cool! Tomorrow is the Chinese "Mid Autumn Festival", a very nice celebration complete with "mooncakes" and tea!
Mid Autumn Festival - This is another very important date in the Chinese calendar and is celebrated throughout the Territories by families gathering in public parks an open spaces with beautifully decorated lanterns, in a variety of shapes, ablaze with light and color. Victoria Peak is a popular venue on this night. Part of the celebrations revolve around the story of an uprising against the Mongols, when rebels smuggled instructions to their compatriots by hiding them in cakes. Today, special 'Moon Cakes' are eaten during the festivities.
Shine on, shine on Harvest Moon
