My brother seems to have been quite taken with my recent sunset picture. As he was leaving my house last night he commented on how beautiful the moon was and suggest that I take a photograph of it.

It was rather late at night and I didn’t think it was quite the thing to be setting up a tripod in the middle of the street at that time. Hand held shots were never going to work but I did try a couple just in case. I resorted to plan B, Gorrillapod on the upstairs window ledge which gave me the challenge of taking a photo through glass.  I managed to capture the clouds which had attracted my brother’s attention and also minimised the reflections.  But then there is that rather unusual double moon effect!

    A great shot! Beautiful and amusing. A bit like the moon is carrying a small baby moon…:-)

    Yes, two moons, that’s right – we are, after all, in a parallel universe now.

    your moon has its own moon….
    try a longer lens and see if the little moon also has its own moon..
    and so on…
    and on….
    and on

    who knows where it will end
