Then in that one moment of time
I will see eternity
And I will be free

Full Moon On Fire Smoking Clouds - Photograph

© All Rights Reserved
(Click on image to enlarge)

I took that photograph of the October 2023 Full Hunter's Moon.

Sometimes I get lucky, and the clouds make the moon look like it's on fire, with smoke wafting off of it.

Note: You can also see Jupiter in this photo. It is the bright spot below and to the left of the moon.

"Cherub Flame Thrower" - Postcard

© All Rights Reserved
(Click on image to enlarge)

This week's Sunday Postcard Art theme was "Edgy." Except the meaning was to "focus on the edges and not the centre of the postcard" so this doesn't match the theme.

The devil can be better seen in the second cherub piece here.

I may or may not post this for the challenge. This is one of three in a set that I am loosely calling a Cherub Triptych.

I would not have believed this news story was true, except the New York Times said it, so it must be true. The New York Times is reporting that in March 2017, the United States Government bombed the Tabqa Dam in Syria, despite it being on their ""no-strike" list and the risks of such an attack killing tens of thousands of people." Shortly after that bombing occurred, the US Government stated that claims by ISIS, Syria, and Russia that the US had done the bombing were "crazy reporting". So the United States Government lied to We The People in March 2017 AND dismissed any claims that they were responsible for that bomb attack as, effectively, conspiracy theories / misinformation / disinformation. But thankfully Big Tech / Social Media censor information that the US Government tells them is misinformation / disinformation.
