MAGICAL MOONLIGHT

I took this shot during the recent "super moon" occurrence. I have cheated a bit as it is a composite of two photos, one of the moon in focus and one of the bat and tree in focus. We have many grey-headed flying foxes (= bats) over our garden at night as we live close to one of the parks that a bat colony is based (see my post about it here).

This post is part of Sylvia's Skywatch Friday meme.

  1. Great photo, and the bat really adds to it!! A little touch of Dracula, maybe. Boom & Gary of the Vermilon River, Canada.

  9. It's good you said it is composite as i am wondering why both are in focus! The scene looks eerie and ominous, especially if there are news on TV about the "aswang" here. Aswang is a mythical creature with only the upper part of the body flying, while the lower portion is left somewhere while the top is looking for pregnant women to victimize! hahaha. eerie?

  12. That is an absolutely beautiful shot! I want to learn to cheat too :) I'm just thinking now about buying a "photoshop" program.

    I looked at your linked post about the park with the bat colony. Oh my! So fascinating!
