Eclipse

A full moon so close to earth slowly vanishes...lunar eclipse. Sponsor: Russell Sivey Contest: Moon is my Muse February 25, 2013 This was very inspiring to me.. The earth came between the moon and sun.. The moon's position that night gave the feeling of being able to reach up and touch it then it slowly disappeared..

Yes - the moon! I believe that the discrepancy between the moon of myth and the moon of reality is fascinating. Nice work! Peace & Love Matthew Anish

Remember the Hale Bop comet? Now that was something.I had just got divorced and was in a deep depression.. funny how this piece gave me that to remember it by.
