Moonrise at Abu Sir
The full moon has an orange tinge from the dust and pollution of the valley but it is still a lovely sight rising above the rather peculiar house next door. Somehow, it seemed much larger by eye.
Until I did a closeup view of the house, that looked like Phoenix or Los Angeles, USA (my current home). Lovely picture. And interesting house, I rather like it.
It's interesting how palm trees can define a place -- this type immediately reminds me of desert sands and pyramids, while coconut palms always remind me of the South Pacific isles.

ReplyDeleteLooks kind of spooky, all purple coloured. Unusual.

ReplyDeleteI love it rising against a purple sky, between the palms.
