Blue Moon by Geryl Mortensen

Blue Moon

We all know that our time afield is greatly affected by the moon as it influences the tides of the oceans, the behavior of our prey and some would agree even our own emotions. The night sky has fascinated our species since the beginning of time. I encourage you to turn out the lights and enjoy the heavens above and seek to learn what it can teach you in both mind and spirit...

Surrounded by the darkness of night, cast your view on the Milky Way or the brilliance of the full moon and allow yourself to reflect that it was not that many generations ago that the mysteries of the heavens provided not just beauty but also fueled a quest for knowledge...

We now often take the benefits of that knowledge for granted and instead of being inspired by the greatness of the night sky, we more often than not allow ourselves to be content to live unlike any society before us and unfortunately while knowledge surrounds us, we do little mind exploration on our own but instead feed on an overload of multimedia entertainment that in most every case is only there to manipulate us to either buy a product or behave in a certain way... A new world drug enters our veins from our eyes and ears as we are constantly bombarded with messages that for the most part are counterproductive to our souls and in the end, keep us from being all that we could be, or perhaps, all that we are suppose to be...

Turn off the noise and open your mind. Explore the wonders of the universe finding joy once again in the simple questions how and why. May the luster of the Milky Way above or the brilliance of the full moon illuminate your soul...

March Moon was captured while scouting for a location to shoot the full moon lunar eclipse that occured a few days after this shot was taken. The moon is shown here with a disk illumination at 97 percent at a range of 397,726 km. As I pondered the beauty of the moon my above thoughts resonated with my spirit in the silence of the night. Hope you don’t mind me sharing my thoughts with you…
