Morning Luggers,

First here is the moon from last night, taken with the Fuji XH1 and the 100 - 400 zoom, cropped to about 1/3 in LR:

I was in Heraklion Crete on June 20, 1969 in Lion Square at 11pm local time along with thousands of others. We stared
up at the moon while listening on loud speakers to the chatter between Control at Houston and the
Moon lander. The photos and negatives of that evening can’t be located sadly. 

But here I am, days before, at the Palace of Knossos, just outside Heraklion. I remember the sandals were very uncomfortable.

The second picture makes me wax philosophical. Wish I could have that body again - with my current assets and wisdom learned over 76 years of living.

Please view large if you like. C&C always welcome.

Howard on Pender (marvelling at the passage of time)
