Tonight is the night for the Mid Autumn Festival.
We are having a full moon here and I just couldn’t help taking a picture of it with my little crappy camera.
It’s also a time for listening to my favorite song “Song to the Moon” http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a1PMzQ8PuCo
Please enjoy!

Awesome shot, nonetheless!

Great post; love it 🙂
Reblogged this on Lavender Turquois.
Thanks for the reblogging!
Beautiful
Thank you 🙂
Lovely photo … and I can see the moon’s smiley face. 🙂
I was delighted to see the shadows on the moon too 🙂
Yes, the full moon is here and lovely! Sunset was nice here, too. I don’t have any photos at all, though, much less to match that one!
There was a better view of the moon when I was driving. This image is good enough for me. Thank you 🙂
A happy moon festival to you and family. Am missing the Hong Kong fun here in Calgary, Canada.
Thank you travtrails, hope you are enjoying the festival in Calgary 🙂
and your little crappy camera did a damn good job…
I have to use the maximum zoom. Thank you 🙂
lovely!
Thank you 🙂
I saw the moon here last night when walking the dog, but had no camera, not even my phone! Yours is nevertheless a very nice image!
I guess the moon looks the best at this time of the year. Thank you 🙂
Happy Mid-autumn Festival, Michael! We are 12 hours behind from HK, and I’ll see what I can capture tonight, and I shall be playing Clair de Lune while eating mooncakes. 🙂
Will love to see your pictures 🙂
Happy Mid-Autumn Festival! Have lots of moon cakes.
Already have a lot of food. Love mooncakes, but they can be a bit too sweet for me. Thank you 🙂
Little and crappy beats none at all. Definitely worth the click!
I didn’t bring my better camera. I just hoped the image is good enough. Thank you 🙂
The colours combine very well.
Thank you 🙂
Beautiful shot…I love the colours. The moon almost looks like the sun :-).
The moon was at a low angle and there was a lot of refraction in the air. regards, Michael
Crappy camera or not …. brilliant clear photo. Well done, I’m a moon child. *smile
Hi moon child, hope you have the sweest dream tonight!
Michael, no full moon last night … under full moon I sleep the best. *smile
My biggest hope every night is to sleep well. Hope you will sleep well too 🙂
I don’t sleep bad, but I sleep better when its full moon.
Have a pleasant weekend now, Michael.
Have a pleasant weekend to you too 🙂
Thanks, Michael.

Great photo.
Thank you 🙂
Nicely captured–the silhouette and dark tones against a golden moon–lovely.
Thanks very much for the kind comment 🙂
Your little crappy camera sure takes incredible photos!! Beautiful!
On zooming to the moon, the grains in the image are quite coarse. However, it doesn’t seem to matter as there are not many colors or details in the image. Thank you 🙂
Wonderful photo, you’ll have to stop insulting your little camera! I look at the image and then I look up and out the window — at the full moon here
As a blogger, I have become more exaggerating – including insulting my little camera! Apologize for that 🙂 Hope the full moon has conveyed peace!
Oh, we all make these little jokes in our blog… I’m sure your camera will forgive you. Yes, I think the full moon has been a very peaceful sight in our sky — and it made me remember, and again appreciate, the Moon Chest installation in the AGO Ai Weiwei exhibition. It is quite magic to look through the boxes, and see the phases of the moon spiralling before you.
I still don’t have the chance to look at the Moon Chest yet, lucky you!
Yes I feel very fortunate to have the opportunity, right here in Toronto. His exhibition has attracted a great deal of attention — of a very thoughtful kind, and across cultures.
Glad that you have the opportunity. Regards, Michael
Excellent
Thank you 🙂
Beautiful picture of the moon! I love watching the moon because there are many phases to me as well.
Unlike the sun which seems so powerful and uplifting, the moon is peaceful and I love it too. Thank you 🙂
Wow, looks great to me. Beautiful.
Thank you SimplySage 🙂
Happy Moon festival from San Francisco!
Happy moon festival to you too! I would love to view the moon, say, from near Golden gate Bridge. Thank you 🙂
For a crappy camera, it didn’t do a bad job.
The camera is crappy only in the sense that I am not able to zoom more into the moon and also unadjusted pictures come out to bright. Thank you 🙂
This is beautiful! Happy mid autumn 🙂
Wish you a great weekend 🙂
Crappy camera? Great photo!!!
I shouldn’t say crappy. It was a relatively inexpensive camera (US$300). Regards, Michael
