full moon

i sat in amazement at the brightness of the full moon two nights ago as my crisp moonshadow followed me around my neighborhood. it was the last full moon i'll see in chile during this trip. i'll be watching over the next two weeks as the slivers of light fade each night and the full moon dims to new. the dark sky of the nearly new moon this august will accompany the perseid meteor shower... at least for those of you in the north.
