One Small Step for Man... One Giant Leap for Mankind! - And a 'Blue Moon' Tribute! R.I.P Neil Armstrong...
'Blue Moon Friday' - August 31st2012
R.I.P Neil Armstrong - August 25th 2012
I know I'm a little late late on getting this one uploaded...
But I wanted to put together a tribute to acknowledge the passing of Neil Armstrong.
A household name and Father to an incredible moment in history...
The first Man to step foot on the Moon!!! %-)
I was 3 years old when it happened, so way too little to have experienced the event first hand!
But can appreciate the incredible impact and affect it had on the world at the time...
Watching and listening with eager excitement and fascination!
An iconic moment in history! %-)
Like many of us... I love the moon... love looking up at it in the sky... love watching it's changing moods form and shape over the course of the month and love to photograph it whenever I can... especially when it's full. It often makes me think of my dear family and friends around the world, potentially looking up at the same time too. (Sometimes with me prompting them with a txt message! HaHa!) I love the idea that wherever we are in the world, we can look up at the moon and be connected.%-)
So I have fished out a few old images above from the archives taken over the past couple of years..
It is also an appropriate coincidence that we are cuirrently experiencing a 'Blue Moon' in our skies...
As noted here... Blue moon: A cosmic wink at Neil Armstrong memorial service
And here... Blue Moon and Neil Armstrong Converge
I was fortunate enough to capture it's golden glow in the early hours of this morning...
Just as it was about to slip below the horizon to make it's appearance to the northern Hemisphere!
And again this evening peaking through the hazy clouds... %-)
Will have a look through the shots tomorrow to see if I've managed to get a good one to share...
I've been wondering if any of my Flickr friends have been looking up at the Moon with me...? %-)
