Here is my first contribution.
I never get tired of seeing the Moon.
The first one is just how it was taken.
The second is the same image, but in black and white.

A superb photo Infinity.
I love photography, as well as astronomy.
These types of photos do inspire me.
I won’t clog up this thread with my rambling.
So thanks for the inspiration. :)
