As tired as I was when I got home, I had to run out yesterday evening and do some work (side-job work, which is good, as opposed to day-job work, which is still kinda tricky right now.)

I drove deeper into midtown with the skyline lit on my left, and the thin edge of a crescent moon setting on the right. The crescent was so narrow, it was almost a Bailey's Beads sort of collection of holes and bright points. The rest of the moon was lit with earthshine, and as the new moon sat cradled in the old moon's arms, I parked my car in the underground parking of one of the tallest buildings in Atlanta.

Almost finished the job, too. More work today, then things might be ready for prime-time.

Slept nine hours last night, in the bliss of one's own bed, dreaming dreams of blue New Zealand seas and glowing crescent moons.

Have you been to New Zealand? It's the most beautiful place in the world.

I love how you described the moon. When I was out yesterday evening with [livejournal.com profile] galestorm and she was driving I noticed that I could see the rest of the moon as a shadow and the sliver was (obviously) very visible. But I like the description of earth shine.

Just curious - you dreamt of New Zeland seas? Have you been to NZ? I'm going at the end of the year for a month on sabbatical and if you've been I'd love to hear about your experience.
