The words 'lunacy" and "lunatic" are derived from Luna because of the folk belief in the moon as a cause of periodic insanity. It is also a feature of modern belief that shapeshifters such as werewolves drew their power from the moon and would change into their bestial form during the full moon.
I could go on.


I sometimes wonder why so many photographers have a fascination for the moon....... then again, I'm one of them

There have been some excellent moon shots on DPS during the last couple of days, these are right up there with the best, great work Ian

Good job, Ian! I've not captured one that good yet. It is really hard.
