No moon? But Winter Solstice...one year away from THE day, 2012?

For now...PEACE to all here, and on the moon ;-)

Happy holidays!

The comment say

Les jeux du stade. On est en Corée du Nord, et cela se voit. Ce tableau humain, composé de 20.000 enfants entraînés durant des heures à tourner en même temps les pages d’un livre peint, sert de fond visuel à un gigantesque spectacle de gymnastique collective, l’une des rares ressources touristiques de cette dictature communiste. Pour l’occasion, la Corée du Nord ouvre en effet ses frontières aux étrangers, en leur faisant payer très cher leurs places : entre 80 et 300 € pour admirer la parfaite synchronisation avec laquelle 100 000 figurants, qui crèvent de faim, réussissent à hurler leur soumission à ceux qui les oppriment. Un spectacle effectivement très impressionnant, tant il est pathétique. (Hotspotmedia/Visual Press Agency) http://www.lefigaro.fr/photos/2011/12/05/01013-20111205DIMWWW00456-...

Great photos, mim and Judy! 

December Moon in Celtic times was called the "Cold moon", yes indeedy, Susan. For the Chinese it is the "Bitter Moon", American Indians Cherokee: "Snow Moon", Dakota Sioux: "12th Moon", Choctaw: "Peach Moon"... nice Full Moon, I call it "Blurrrrr Moon"!

Shot at 400, so you can see the trees somewhat. This is when I wish I had one of those super-duper cameras with a really good lens. What a beautiful moon tonight in Richmond, Virginia, USA

I think our eclipse is later, maybe 3:30 am

Thank you, Mim. Hope you have a clear night sky, the eclipse should be early as the full moon is rising...might be orange to red wine color. "On a winter's night...when the moon is full "
