We are out visiting Amy in Montauk. We were sitting in the living room when Amy said, "Look at the Moon!" Out the window was an absolutely deep orange moon, rising among the silhouettes of the trees. I ran and got my camera and a tripod. The thing is, to our eyes, you could see all the detail on the Moon's face. But if I exposed to show the detail in the moon, you couldn't see the silhouettes of the trees. So I made a much longer exposure that burned out the Moon's detail, but gave us the outlines of the trees, which retained the sense of what we saw.

Beautiful. Enjoy a relaxing visit in Montauk.
Happy that you are getting a chance to visit with Amy :-) (and getting some cool photos!) bsk
If there had been no description, I would have guessed this was a diver's light, deep in the ocean, the murky waters clouded further by plant life. As the currents move, the leaves - Undaria pinnatifida (Harvey) Suringar - sway relentlessly, sometimes touching but mostly feeling free to undulate in the cold, dark water. They sway, sharing the rhythm and expansive arena of the sea.
