Default I See The Moon, The Moon See's Me

Do you remember those songs Mom & Dad sang to you as a youngster. Here's one my Dad used to sing as we were travelling along in the car and the moon was in view:

I see the moon, the moon see's me,
Under the shade of the old oak tree.
Please let the light that shines on me
Shine on the one I love.

Moon

This is my first attempt at a moon shot.

I do so love this song, especially the Chris Rice version, and as I listen and write, I have to say your photo does look like "Sugar-white perfection Radiant beams of purest light." Very nicely done. Did you enjoy the dark, cold quiet when you took it?

Awesome shot Paul. I am still practicing with moon shots but certainly have not been able to capture the detail that you have here. We had a beautiful full moon here last night and I will share my attempts in the next day or so.
