This week, for Denzil’s Nature Photo Challenge, we don’t have to worry where we live. The moon shines upon us whichever hemisphere we live in – whether we’re townies or country mice. So here are my moon shots, mainly from England and Wales… some of them may resemble yours, even if you’ve never visited the UK.



And here’s a selection of waxing moons, waning moons, all over the place.





Love a moon shot 💙

Definitely. My astronomy teacher took a very famous photo of it. He had to go to Chile to get it 😀

Some nicely atmospheric ones. Love the walled garden shot and Pembrokeshire. I’ve given up on the moon, but you’ll be delighted to know that you DID appear in my Reader. Have a lovely day!

Another walled garden vote! Good to know I was in the Reader for you to read! Have a good walk – I did today. I’ll write it up for the next Monday Walk.

It is true that the moon shines on us wherever we live…unless the sky is packed with clouds which is exactly what has happened the last several full moons here including the latest. So I am very happy to see yours, Margaret. By the time we have a clear night sky the moon is rising as I retire for the day. 🙂 Okay, that is a bit of an exaggeration but lately I don’t see the moon often.

Yup, happens here too. But we have had a fair few clear skies lately.

Very striking! I remember being thrilled the first time I saw a waning moon in Southern Portugal looking so different from the way I usually saw it.

Really? How interesting. I thought the moon gave similar experiences wherever it shines.

I think it appears a little different depending on where you’re viewing it, and radically so if you were to see it from the North Pole then travel all the way to the South Pole, not that I’m likely to do that.

Lovely moon shot galleries 🙂 My favourites are October in Sleningford, and the Walled Garden.
