I went north for an overnight at friends' house in my former village.
This morning at 5:27 the moon shining on the olive leaves made them even more silvery than normal.
Ten minutes later the moon was setting in the beautiful still-cool Jerusalem Hills.
Sunrise followed moon set at 6:00, gradually spreading light in the Soreq Valley.

ReplyDeletefriends, thank you all. So glad you enjoyed the sky.
ReplyDeleteHels, thanks for the beautiful Rubin painting (link)! It does look like a scene from there in the Jerusalem Hills. Where I stayed we can see Jerusalem off to the east on the horizon.
Wow, that full moon is so bright, it looks just like the sun -- I'm glad you told us it was the moon. ☺ My skies
