Because as it sets over Bologna, you realise museums and galleries are closed on Mondays, and your single day in this city, while not fully wasted, is still going to be somewhat incomplete.
An hour later, the moon gets over to the Church witht the sacred icon, inviting to to contemplate if it is worth waking 3 miles through the longest arched gallery in the world to see it.
Standing Ovation, Seated 
Beautiful photos!
Thank you, Veronica! I am glad you liked them )
The crescent moon has been huge lately where I am. Probably about as big as in the second picture, I don’t think I’ve ever seen it that big in person.
I only wish I had a full moon on that terrace in Bologna )) Still, it was quite an impressive skyline
You don’t like crescents?
I like them, except that a full moon over a medieval skyline can be so much more impressive ))
A crescent over an Islamic skyline, now that would be impressive.
