The moon was full and halo-ey in the sky tonight. Sorry, I know halo-ey isn't a word, but my awkwardly limited vocabulary won't allow me to express myself without making stuff up.
On last years vacation I made some experiments with two polarizing filters sticked together to get some long exposure shots. Not the best way to produce good results. Very funny colors in the corner.
For some reasons I looked over the last years shots and decided to upload this one.

A touching burial for Flight Lieutenant Henry ‘Lacey’ Smith occurred in the morning of the 19th April 2011, with full military honours being paid. Members of No. 453 Squadron (453SQN) from the Royal Australian Air Force, FLTLT Smith’s former squadron, paraded as a mark of respect for the fallen pilot. FLTLT Smith was from Sans Souci in Sydney NSW, and was shot down by anti-aircraft fire on 11th June 1944. His spitfire aircraft crashed into the River Orne, near Caen, in northern France and was not discovered until 2010.
The first Australian squadron to go into action on 6th June 1944, 453SQN, operated from advanced bases in the beach land providing tactical support for the troops landing on the Normandy beachhead. The squadron carried out operations that included harassing the retreating enemy, attacking enemy convoys, bombing missions, armed reconnaissance and bomber escort duties.
Today 453SQN is a Joint Battlefield Airspace Control squadron, headquartered at RAAF Base Williamtown.

I used two off camera flashes one to the left of the subject and one to the right, both set at 1/1. Little bit of post work.
Insomnia sometimes batters the mind, but it drove me to take a walk into the morning. As I walked, I happened upon a hill that allowed me to capture this shot.

Wirral RFC were founded in 1936 by former pupils of Wirral Grammar School, Bebington. After the Second World War the club leased facilities at Hooton Park Golf Club. In 1968 Wirral moved to Clatterbridge, their present home. The Old Wirralians Association Memorial Ground commemorates club players killed during the 1939-45 conflict. A major success came in 2009, when Chester were beaten 20-10 in the Cheshire Vase Final. The club maintain strong links with Wirral Grammar School.
