Halloween's Moon (2009 Nov 5)

[Richy72130]

If you look closely at the photo just below the moon, there appears cloud formations that outline a "man's face". The nose portion of the face showing an almost perfect "nostril" formation is very evident. Then as you search the photo in this face area you can make out "Eyes and mouth" formation. "Beauty is in the eye of the beholder".

I see a face where the moon is on the mouth. The Moon could pass for a lit cigarette in the mouth of the face, if your looking at it end on! 8) It does make a good wallpaper; so I add it to my background collection.

<<Tom Moore says that Common Sense went out one moonlight night with Genius on his rambles;
Common Sense went on many wise things saying, but Genius went gazing at the stars, and fell into a river.

This is told of Thales by Plato, and Chaucer has introduced it into his Milleres Tale.

• “So ferde another clerk with astronomye:
  He walkëd in the feeldës for to prye
  Upon the sterrës, what ther shuld befall,
  Till he was in a marlë pit i-fall.”
