Neat picture I wish our sky weren't so cloudy that I couldn't see the moon!

Did you just take that picture now Vanessa?

*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.

No moon here in Chicago tonight, Vanessa, too cloudy after today's storms. I like the one from the Cape though.

Shine on, shine on Harvest Moon
Up in the sky
I ain't had no lovin' since january, February, June or July.
snow time ain't no time to sit outside and spoon.
So shine on, shine on Harvest Moon, for me and my gal.

From the album "Harvest Moon"
Harvest Moon
Neil Young



Come a little bit closer
Hear what I have to say
Just like children sleepin'
We could dream this night away.

But there's a full moon risin'
Let's go dancin' in the light
We know where the music's playin'
Let's go out and feel the night.

Because I'm still in love with you
I want to see you dance again
Because I'm still in love with you
On this harvest moon.

When we were strangers
I watched you from afar
When we were lovers
I loved you with all my heart.

But now it's gettin' late
And the moon is climbin' high
I want to celebrate
See it shinin' in your eye.

Because I'm still in love with you
I want to see you dance again
Because I'm still in love with you
On this harvest moon.

There's a beautiful view of the full moon up here on the south shore, Amid. Nice, clear night....

<font color=navy>Just ran outside to see the moon here in LA --- I know, I know.... with all the haze and marine layer - forget about it!

Thanks, Amid, for sharing your shot.
