This was an attempt to show what a full moon does to the landscape after my eyes adjust to the lack of light. I remember a particularly interesting hiking trip in my youth, where we crossed a stream by the light of the full moon in order to hike into our campsite for the night. Depth perception goes sideways (as did one person's shoe, downstream), and shadows deepen. But slowly there is a little bit of color. And it is beautiful.
