Stood in the back of the truck outside in the driveway and had a look for a while. Of course, it was about 49 degrees or so here...<br /><br />Those photographs are absolutely amazing. Beautiful, clear, sharp, and weird in old witchy sense of the word. (Particularly the ghost-like figure bending over you.) I bet if you made posters out of those you could sell them for a fortune. I'd buy one. Neat work, thanks for posting.A.T.

...Emma - well, he and I both share our birthday :)<br /><br />They're cool photos. I was trying to work out why he's not blurred in them, but of course a flash would have been used at one point in the time, capturing him most strongly in that position. Nice idea.<br /><br />Mind you, he didn't write his name backwards... :)<br /><br />Attila - surprisingly , the moon isn't perceptibly bigger at any point in the sky - it only seems so when it's near the horizon and you're comparing it to distant trees or buildings. <br /><br />Another thig about the moon I was extremely sceptical about when I heard, until I tried it out for myself, is that the moon is no bigger for us than the size of the fingernail on our little finger with our arm stretched out as far as it can go. Try it :)<br /><br />Eryl - thank you :)Kim Ayreshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02656677501116622953noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15322620.post-26409334180834567362010-02-01T17:39:08.106+00:002010-02-01T17:39:08.106+00:00You did a damn good job of writing Rogan backwards...You did a damn good job of writing Rogan backwards!Erylhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06008344023000459577noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15322620.post-13891172561277432832010-02-01T13:29:42.678+00:002010-02-01T13:29:42.678+00:00Oh those are sooooo neat!
