The Moon Was a Crescent

October 28, 2017 by Greg Molyneux

Crescent moonrise over salt marsh at blue hour.

The moon was a crescent, thin and sharp as the blade of a knife. A pale sun rose and set and rose again. Red leaves whispered in the wind. Dark clouds filled the skies and turned to storms. —Bran III, A Dance with Dragons; volume five in A Song of Ice and Fire. Author George R. […]

Wide angle landscape photograph of a Full Moon over marsh at blue hour
