Genesis Inspiration: Photographing the Moon with iPhone

The Netherlands, Oegstgeest – July 2025

One of my favorite bands is Genesis. In 1976 A Trick of the Tail came out with a beautiful song ‘Mad Man Moon’. Last month I tried to take a shot of the moon using my iPhone. And this is the result.

Asteroid B 612: Capturing the Power of the Moon

The Netherlands, Oegstgeest – July 2024

The Moon just stands there it seems, and mostly I do not pay too much attention to it. The power of the moon is enormous though, as it influences the level of the seas on Earth. At odd moments in the evening or morning I grab my camera when I spot the moon, I just can’t resist. This is one of those times, the haziness reminds me of the sand in the Sahara, the setting of Le Petit Prince, a beautiful book by Antoine de Saint-Exupéry. Could this moon be asteroid B 612? The power of imagination, see what your eyes can not see.

The whole of the moon

England, Walmer – December 2023

I pictured a rainbow
You held it in your hands
I had flashes
But you saw the plan
I wandered out in the world for years
While you just stayed in your room
I saw the crescent
You saw the whole of the moon
The whole of the moon

The Waterboys – Whole of the moon

Public Power Cut 2

The Netherlands, Oegstgeest – February 2023

The weekly lens artists challenge #242 is ‘new experiences’. A month ago we had a partial public space power cut, the streetlights of a part of the neigbourhood were off for an hour and the moon showed its grace beautifully. Power inside the houses was still there. Power cuts are fortunately rare, and this one was quite a nice experience! This is a bicycle coming by.

Moon over Marshes

Au clair de la lune

The Netherlands, April 2021

This week lens artists photo challenge is ‘that special place‘. The moon is a big inspiration for stories and songs. The Dark Side of the Moon is a brilliant album by Pink Floyd, Mad man Moon on Trick of the Tail by Genesis, R.E.M.’s Man on the moon, Moon over Bourbon Street by Sting are some of them. And of course a French folk song ‘Au clair de la lune’. And the moon has impact on our lives on this planet: the moon causes tides on seas, and apparently has impact on the menstrual cycle.

Not the 2017 Favourite – Andalucía Moon (Leftover 8)

The last weekly photo challenge is ‘2017 Favourite’. Share the most meaningful photo that I have taken in 2017. Well, that is tough: which one of the odd 365 photo’s to choose? A lot of them are special to me, meaningful, but it might be that I did not publish my most meaningful photo of 2017 on my blog. So I am taking my own direction in this theme: I am not going to choose. My personal theme this week will be about photo’s that are leftovers of 2017. And they all are meaningful to me as well. I hope you do not mind. Wishing all of you a fabulous 2018.
