APOD: Clouds, Birds, Moon, Venus (2010 Sep 15)

[Céline Richard]

Hi Owlice, I enjoyed writing this poem, and i love Neruda since i bought his book: "Nuevas odas elementales, Tercer libro de las odas" (I discover Neruda with this one).
Above all, i am happy you like it
Thank you a lot for "Puedo escribir los versos mas tristes esta noche"!! I don't have it in my little book, but i have found it in the Internet. Love appears to be so sad, but also so wonderful in this poem
Have a very nice day!

Dare I say photochop? At sunset the camera would have to be pointing south to capture the sunlight on the clouds like that. Therefore the moon as shown would be low in the southern sky. I did not think Spain was so far north of the equator that a setting moon would be only a few degrees off the southern horizon.

A few years later - I take it back. I have seen the moon very much like that from beach in Fort Walton, Florida in October(a long way from home I must say).
