The SUPER MOON of the 19th March 2011
A Super Perigee Moon
After the recent, tragic events with Japan’s catastrophic quake , the unrest in the Middle East and North Africa and Libya Crisis , unfortunately, all three are still in process, the beautiful Moon of the 19 March 2011 ,the World Storytelling Day 20 March and the World Poetry Day 21 March came as a relief just to take our mind off the worries for a while and give us the chance to see the other side of the coin….
Today, 21st of March,we have a Spring Equinox when Day and Night have about equal length.Although the day’s length is a bit shortened after the recent tremendous earthquakes that took place in our planet.The fact that they decided to have a Global Celebration of Poetry on this day is not accidental . Spring has been a source of inspiration for poets and not only, for ages..
The day of the Super Moon was very much anticipated and all depended on the weather’s disposition and the clear skies .Would it be a clear,cloudless night to allow us to get good visual effect?
A Magpie on a Good Observation Post for the Magical Event....
The clever bird , the magpie,had taken possession on a good observation post in the garden to enjoy the anticipated phenomenon….I thought to myself as I captured it…. Imagine ! My country , Greece , with plenty of sunshine most of the time,even over winter,on that day Gods decided to send us cloudy skies and drops of rain . That’s Irony of Fate…. It had been overcast since noon and one could presume what to expect…When the beautiful Super Moon was near the horizon where it gives the stunning effect ,where the illusion mixes with reality and produces the Myth… the clouds were rich black and simply, it was like a black,moonless night… And what I managed to get later on, was a rather poor visual effect…Just to remember the WINTRY night in Spring……

Indeed,there are moments that enable us to realise that no matter what happens around us and beyond us is not the end of the world,at least at the moment…We step up and go ahead employing positive energy and beneficial,effective tools….
All the best
