110516_165635_5164627 Red Moon Rising (Mon 16 May)

Sydney CBD

Yes, another city skyline, but obviously this time one which contains a distinctive feature.

The moon rises behind the city buildings which are lit by the sun's fading red light. In particular it's located to the left of Centrepoint Tower, which sits over the top of a newly revamped Westfield shopping mall.

Of course the two things are nothing alike. One is a cold, soulless, barren place.

The other is the moon.

I know which one Senator Dr Harrison Hagan Schmitt (lunar module pilot, Apollo XVII) would rather spend time exploring.

And, indeed, I'm quite partial to exploring the Moon myself. That one, or another one.

Love the warm light reflected on the buildings and there's great detail in the moon. V
