Seeing 2011 (#144)

For your consideration: the results of a blissfully peaceful, quiet, solitary sit by a slowly ebbing campfire (see prior post) . . . this specific inactive activity is probably my absolute favorite, all-too-rare, indulgence in life.

Taken during this contemplation: a composite image — sandwiched photographs of the moon's surface, correctly exposed — layered over the otherwise overwhelming brightness picked up by the camera's sensor during the much longer exposure required to reveal the fog-enshrouded sky and trees.
