Stairs To the Moon


When i took this picture i was in the middle of a farm field, in Alentejo, Portugal. In that moment, i was accompanied by my little niece Debóra, who was eager to see the moon ... asked me if the moon was too far from us, and I answered him, depends my baby, the distance could be apparent and relative, but in astronomical terms, the moon is very near us. I will show you... do you want to see? Yes, and i said: So, you just need to climb the stairs and bring me the Moon.

This image was taken just two days after the New Moon, and the earthshine effect is still visible.
