Moon of midday / 1.

Posted by Leena (Joensuu, Finland) on 4 February 2009 in Plant & Nature and Portfolio.

The sunshine was so clear,
it ached my eyes,
unaccustomed to such a clearness,
the moon was still smiling as pale.

Thank you very much for your visits and comments !

fabulous shot Leena normally one would expect to see the sun in the middle of the day

@jamesy: Debbie,
the sun was shining very clearly on the other side of the sky getting snow glimmering, but the moon was visible the whole day, because the sun is not yet very faraway from a horizon or I think, that is a reason.
The moon is higher on the sky than the sun.
But today is again a snowing day :)

another beautiful image , white moon may it snowed also on the moon ;)i like when the moon and sun can be seen in the sky at the same time :)

I love this composition! That clear blue sky and sunshine must have been warming to your soul, Leena.
I'm such a light-dependent person, I don't know if I could live (happily) so far from the equator, and have the long dark winter days.

Thank you for your comments!
You found nice words even it was only half moon and half tree in the photo as "bluechameleon" said :)

But is the moon sad always in your mind, Khazan or only in this photo?
