When the moon hits your eye like a big pizza pie...

That's Amore!

Any time I look up at the moon, I always think of Tom Hanks in Apollo 13. Before he, Jim Lovell, was setting out for his mission to the moon, he would stare up at it, placing his thumb over it and looking at it with one eye. This represented that even though from Earth it appears as just a speck in the sky, easily covered up with one finger, this is still a huge celestial object.

I took these shot this morning of the moon, still holding strong not wanting to disappear from the sky for the day. It was such a clear morning, making it optimal for getting a shot. I used a telescopic lens for my new Canon camera, for using my camera phone wouldn't allow for any detail.

Happy steeming friends.

Great picture of the moon
I remembered the lunar nights I spend in the middle of the desert. The moon is radiant with light

Great pictures, especially when it's hard to capture good quality pictures of the moon.

Nice shot.

The moon is so amazing and mysterious. Great pics of it.

Beautiful pics. I wish I had a camera to capture something that looks more like the moon instead of a light bulb on my iPhone!
