07SEP2011 - Ghostly Galleons

So close to Friday, so close to sleeping in... yet, so far away! I realize it's only a four day work-week, but I've been starting at 7am, meaning I leave the house at 6am. It's been tough sleeping in this crazy heat (at least it's not raining), but I need sleep! My college buddy (she'd love that I called her that) MC Tanya (and I bet that she'd love that even more) is coming over for dinner... and after some food, wine and gossip it'll be an early night for me! Getting back to business... This picture was taken on my way to work, I love the mist in the fall... it reminds me of this poem "The Highwayman" we had to read in grade 9:

The wind was a torrent of darkness among the gusty trees,

The moon was a ghostly galleon tossed upon cloudy seas.

The road was a ribbon of moonlight over the purple moor,

and the highwayman came riding - riding - riding,

the highwayman came riding, up to the old inn door.

I can really visualize the scene in my head... and why I still remember that is beyond me, but I digress.... the mist is really cool and I was trying to capture in this picture; it didn't quite turn out the way I'd hoped, but there are plenty more early autumn mornings for me!
