solstice sun and moon

it was solstice yesterday, which is called "Sommersonnenwende" in German: "summersunturn". the start of summer. and the sky here was in tune with it: sunny and warm, with swallows curving the air.

in the afternoon, i took the time to go swimming, and the triangle of elements - water, sun and air - lead to island memories from the Canary islands, which are also called "islands of perminant spring". so that's where my photo friday image is from, taken 6 months ago:

 

later the moon came out, almost full, and i tried a photo, which looks like the cloud reflect the moonlight.
now i just looked: full moon will be on sunday, two days after solstice
