Last night I made an ever-so-slight complaint that the Moon was not artistically obscured by the clouds so as to make photography more worthwhile.

Tonight, I got this:

Clearly, there is a lesson to be learned here, and that lesson is that I should whine my way to things I want more often!

Being facetious, yes.

Having proven to me that if it can affect tides, then it can certainly look mysterious and alluring beneath the veil of clouds, the Moon eventually made its way up and lit the valley.

Tonight's lunar viewing was accompanied by Oolong tea (there is that double "o" again!) and a soundtrack created by those who are also quite fond of the Moon.
