Moonlight on the snow


This is the fourth anniversary of my arrival in Tarset! How is it that four years passed with so many full moons in such a whirl?
The seasons almost blended at times through the amount of rainfall.Yes, and yet some of the hot days and some of the snow days stand out as highlights! Bringing with them a strong experience of the place, this unique place, this valley.
Tarset is particular and especially in moonlight on snow in the orchard. The clear skies at night here are so extraordinary, the stars seem to perch just above our heads and the skies are so vast, so huge we feel almost like happy little ants.
The full moon is one of the many important times in my calendar. When it is clear here it is magnificent. Often it is overcast and cloudy.
Tonight is spectacular.The moon shadows of the trees and sheep cast on the white snow.

what a beautiful photograph! the landscape sings an ancient tune and the shadows in the moonlight are soft and inviting...it is hard to imagine you have been in tarset for four years and counting, lucky you! the full moon here was also bright in the night, but it did not reveal the same splendor...it is wonderful to see you posting more of your own photos, thank you.
