Description
April 6, 2000. Working long days has become a pattern. There is so much to be done at work. Unconsciously I try to push away my feelings of rejected love. I did not even notice. A certain loneliness is covered by busyness and all seems ok. It's almost 9.30 pm when I leave my work. The doors close behind me and I stare at the silent sky. Entirely forgotten, the close appearance of the moon with three planets! The earthshine lights the dark part of the moon and I am fascinated by the beauty of this celestial show.
I go home on bike while I'm still enjoying it. At home I look through my binocular to it enjoying even more its fainting beauty. In the middle of my town there is too much light-pollution and I have no free horizon, so I take my cam, hop in the car and drive out of town. I walk some hundred meters and take this shot. Too bad it's almost half an hour later and the eartshine is no longer visible. The close appearance is close to the horizon and the moon is already coloring yellow.
Nasa provided some good information on their website, Planets for Dessert, if you want to know more about this event.
Tomorrow you'll read the conclusion of this story....

Nice!!!!! Such a cool and informative shot!!! Very original and clever. Thank you for educating us, LOL.

Great shot.. I think the story is most interesting though. Both the story and the photo depict how easily we can become highly involved with things to distract us when we are fundamentally unhappy, and in doing so we entirely lose our perspective of some of God's greatest creations! How awesome it is, though, when we once again recognise them!

Lovely image...never feel alone with all the friends you have here! ;) I'm going to my in-laws in the country this weekend so I hope there are clear skies so I can try my hand at some stellar images.

this is definitely a lonely image, jan-carel. beautiful but so much empty space. working long hours is difficult, but as you said, when you're so busy, well, you can just not notice certain things. unfortunately, it will creep up on you. rejected love...that's hard, but just know that one day, you're gonna find the ONE who looks at you like a shining star that brightens her world!!!! and you will feel the same about her!!! it'll happen...in God's time and according to his plan!!!! hard waiting though! :( huge hugz p.s. totally fabulous expressive image! you should enter it into the challenge this month (nightshots!)

I like that you have labelled the planets here. Well done. Here is a quote for you - "...No, it is impossible; it is impossible to convey the life-sensation of any given epoch of one's existence - that which makes its truth, its meaning - its subtle and penetrating essence. It is impossible. We live, as we dream - alone...." - Marlow from Conrad's "Heart of Darkness." ------ we are alone even when we aren't. -Matt
