Just as the sun was thinking about sinking into Mudeford Quay today,
gulls circled the Wolf Moon,
or basked in the bay,
in which a man stood on the sandbank and another walked his dog along the reddened shingle.
Easier to focus on the reflected sunlight bouncing off glowing windows
It took me a while to regain my vision from the first picture in this post, and from others that followed.
Until the golden orb dropped behind the Sailing Club window Piet Mondrian’s pigments plastered the single pane.
One more dog walker took advantage of the low tide.
This evening we dined at Lal Quilla. My main course was chicken Jaljala, Jackie’s, chicken Korma. We shared egg fried rice, egg paratha, and sag bhaji; and both drank Cobra. The food and service was as good as always..
These pictures remind me of the island I was born on. Yes, fond memories!!
I’m pleased, GP. Thanks very much
The golden orb is lovely!
Thank you very much, John
Oh, wonderful photos Derrick!
Thank you so much, Kim
Gorgeous photos
Thanks very much, Sheree
Thank you for featuring one of my favourite painters.
Much appreciated, Yvonne
Well, you hooked me with the title, but the photos are glorious, Derrick! It’s hard to choose a favorite.
I’m so pleased you think so, Merril. You use Odilon Redon so well yourself. Thank you
You’re very welcome, Derrick.
A most dramatic gallery this time, Derrick. Have to give our biggest thumbs up to the Wolf Moon.
I’m giving my biggest thumbs up to the Wolf Moon as well, although the header photo is a very close second.
thank you both very much for this appreciation
You’re welcome, Derrick.
Thanks very much, Maj and Sher. It was all laid out for me
I love your sunset pictures and that you have the culinary queen the evening off. Good husband. ???

Jackie read out this comment to me before I got to it, Pat. I knew immediately that it was from you. Thanks a lot.
Glad she approved. ?
Such gorgeous sunset shots – and I LOVE that one of the moon
Thank you so much, M.B.
The header photo immediately reminded me of “The Fiddler on the Roof.”
Thanks very much, Liz. Jackie had to explain this comment to me 🙂
You’re welcome, Derrick. (Oops, sorry about the obscure reference.)
🙂 No problem
I’d never heard of a wolf moon until I heard about it from GC this weekend.
My photos are not as good as yours!.
Thank you so much, Sue. Maybe you didn’t have such a stunning scene to work with
You are probably correct, I think my sunrise was better that my lunar efforts You will see them tomorrow.
It never ceases to amaze me how much you pack into one day. These photos are superb.
Thank you so much, Gwen.
It really does look like a Mondrian painting, Derrick. Fantastic colors and light!
Thank you so much, Dolly. I’m pleased you saw it that way, too.
The pleasure is mine, Derrick.
Quite a brilliant sunset!
Thank you very much, Rosaloiene
I love the Wolf Moon shot, Derrick!
Thanks very much, Jill
Today’s picture are so different, the first one blinded me too. Great photography.
Thanks very much, Bridget. I appreciate these comments especially because I wanted to see what I could do with a cloudless sunset.
You can blind people 🙂
Sadly our day clouded over and we never saw the moon so it was very good to get this set of pictures to make up for our loss.
I am really sorry you couldn’t see it in person. You would have done so well with it. Thanks a lot, Tootlepedal.
I had to look up Piet Mondrian, and now understand the reference. Your photos are beautiful, and those molten sundown colors warm the spirit. The reflection of he windows on the water was particularly nice.
Thank you very much, Lavinia.
These pots of gold are especially beautiful! The moody moon shot with birds is beautifully, hauntingly, eerie. I like it!
Thank you so much for these comments, JoAnna. Your “pots of gold” is lovely
🙂 you are very welcome, Derrick.
You have romanced well with the celestial orbs, and the orbiters of the orbs. The windows and water surfaces are dazzlingly lit and make for pretty photos.
Thank you so much, Uma.
As always, enchantment of your walks by water are noteworthy, and the golden-tangerine colors mesmerize. Not a surprise you got blinded a bit!
Thanks very much, Cynthia
From the mythology of the Wolf Moon to the paintings of Piet Mondrian, you have captured a splendid ending of the day.
Thank you so much, Anne
Love the pictures.
Thanks very much, Mrs W.
Your welcome.
I love those lit up windows reflected in the water. ?
Thanks very much, AnneMarie
A collection of interesting photos to inspire my imagination Derrick, and filed a few away for further reflection ..
These photos were skillfully shot. The palett was gorgeous.
Thank you very much, Nicki
Ooh! Piet Mondrian! Great title! His tree paintings are faves of mine! 🙂
Gorgeous photos of a beautiful day! You captured so many of nature’s bestest colours!
I had to put on my sunglasses to view a few of these photos! 😉 Ha! Just teasing! 😎
(((HUGS))) 🙂
When I took each of those pictures I couldn’t see anything else for a while. Jackie tried to point out a cormorant. I had no idea what was there. Thanks very much, Carolyn X
I hjad to look up what a “Wolf moon” was. How I wish I could live to see wolves reintroduced to the British landscape.
Our granddaughter in Kentucky has two in her 30 acre “yard”
Where would you put them where they wouldn’t be a danger?
Absolutely stunning photos Derrick!
Thanks very much, Ribana
What a stunning gallery of photos, Derrick. An impressive collection.
Thank you very much, Eugi
You’re welcome, Derrick.
Yes, stunning gallery! I love how you see art all around you, even in unexpected places.
Thank you so much, Laurie
Piet Mondrian is spot on. You did a beautiful job with the moon photo. I have such a hard time capturing the moon. I also admire the nighttime light reflections on the water. My favourite from among these is the image right before Piet Mondrian, with the silhouetted seagull against the sunset.
Thank you so very much, Crystal
The moon and the gulls is a striking photo, as are the two with light on the windows. The man on the sandbar looks as though he has a different type of thermostat than other walkers. I expanded the photo to make sure he was wearing shorts. I do enjoy seeing what you see!
I’m very pleased, Lisa. Thanks a lot.
