Description
Well . I found you in the twilight garden . Laid a lover's hand upon your shoulder .
And we both were made aware of loving past the reach of reason to unravel .
Or the much desiring heart to follow .
There we heard the breath among the grasses
And the gurgle of softly running water .
Well contented with the spacious starlight . the cool wind's touch and the deep blue distance .
till the dawn came in with golden sandals - Sappho
It is a moon halo . a 22º halo of iridescent colours surrounding the moon. It is created by refraction in tiny hexagonal ice crystals high in the upper atmosphere . . atmospheric optics. We see them often here on Maui especially when the moon is full or very bright with a layer of cirrus clouds. The clouds are iridescent, it is a beautiful sight. The sun had long set and I was enjoying a relaxing evening on Pā'ako beneath the stars with a cool breeze listening to the rhythm of the ocean, and then I looked up as the clouds opened up and the moon appeared with a beautiful ray of light illuminating me in the darkness and I photographed the moon as it appeared over the palm tree.
