The Moon - Ball or Balloon?


This colourful setting "caught my eye" recently during our stay in a hotel at the beachfront in Durban . . .


. . . the mood changed once a near-full moon was reflected on the surface of the sea (Indian Ocean) . . .




. . . when I zoomed in to capture that particular source of light.


A night later (during the "real" full-moon-phase) we were in the Drakensberg region, where I observed this view of a full moon just before sunrise . . .



. . . when moments later it looked like a balloon flying high in the sky . . .



. . . or was it a ball - about to run down the incline . . .



. . . before it slowly - somewhat teasingly - disappeared.
