Week 9 - Full Moon
I took this photo earlier tonight because the full moon caught my eye while I was walking outside. Although this photo doesn't really capture it well, the moon was pretty big. It was also surrounded by clouds, which made it seem to disappear and reappear in the sky. Because it was nighttime and pretty cold, I got a scary, ominous feeling from the moon. I felt like this was the type of moon you'd see at the beginning of a horror film. The clouds definitely supported this feeling because there was an added sense of mystery whenever they would pass over the moon, thus making the sky change from bright to dim. Usually the moon is the only source of light at night, so when it gets covered up, a sense of uncertainty and darkness is created. This especially did not help my situation, as I was walking alone and the area was mostly empty. My mind filled with different images of scary scenarios that could've happened to me.
