The moon has that habit of saving us just as we are about to be buried by our thoughts on a lonely midnight walk. The composition and idea are fabulous, Lorraine.

I hope you did not amble in the night and fall in a well with camera and everything.....but this looks like having been taken from the innards of the Earth.....so faraway, so beautiful and so untouchable!
