below the grey
horizon to sleep
(Inspired by Super Moon. Thus concludes our haiku series that started here.
My gratitude to Melissa Lemay for suggesting this little project.)

Thanks, Luisa. We’re lucky to have so many great photographers out there willing to make their images of the moon available for free.
