For the beauty of the Earth

The moon's beautiful tonight. There was supposed to be a lunar eclipse but I didn't see anything :(

But just looking at the moon was great enough actually. It's just mesmerizing. Too bad my camera can't capture it in it's full beauty.

I've always loved the cool, peaceful glow of the moon.

For I will behold thy heavens, the works of thy fingers:
the moon and the stars which thou hast founded.
What is man that thou art mindful of him?
or the son of man that thou visitest him?
Thou hast made him a little less than the angels,
thou hast crowned him with glory and honour:
And hast set him over the works of thy hands.

~ Psalm 8:4-6

I think this photo is particularly interesting. Don't the clouds look liketwo hands underneath the moon?

And God said: Let there be lights made in the firmament of heaven,
to divide the day and the night, and let them be for signs,
and for seasons, and for days and years:

~ Genesis 1:14

Sunset was quite glorious too. Pity I didn't have my camera. Here are two photos from my phone:
