Full moon over The Rocks - by endika

Failed attempt to catch the moon rising by "Les Roques del Masmut" (or simply "Les Roques"= The Rocks), a spectacular formation close to Montse's town.
It was decidedly overcast, and a chilly and strong wind freezed me while I was waiting for a gap between the clouds that never arrived.
In addition, look at this skull in the clouds! It seems to say "give up for today", and it was right!

Mystical, and I can imagine how the story begins.....the blur works well here

The clouds appear to be racing by, until you see the skull within them, then everything stops. The black rocks in the foreground add to the perhaps sinister mood. Apparently it is not what you had envisioned, but the happy accident forced by the inhospitable weather conditions seems to have aided in creating an intriguing image.
