Shorter days do have one magnificent advantage.
When else is your daily walk likely to include a light show like this one?
Do you see the traveler?
Gute nacht.

For the astronomically minded, the moon pictured is a waning gibbous, 99% of full. I'd never heard the term "gibbous" until a month ago when a second grader explained it to me. Does knowing the definition make it any more beautiful? Of course not, but I've always gotten a thrill from being able to name things, especially in the natural world. I think it might run in the family.
