Explanation: Single shots like this require planning. The first step is to realize that such an amazing triple-alignment actually takes place. The second step is to find the best location to photograph it. But it was the third step: being there at exactly the right time -- and when the sky was clear -- that was the hardest. Five times over six years the photographer tried and found bad weather. Finally, just ten days ago, the weather was perfect, and a photographic dream was realized. Taken in Piemonte, Italy, the cathedral in the foreground is the Basilica of Superga, the mountain in the middle is Monviso, and, well, you know which moon is in the background. Here, even though the setting Moon was captured in a crescent phase, the exposure was long enough for doubly reflected Earthlight, called the da Vinci glow, to illuminate the entire top of the Moon.
Location: A simple man leading a complicated life....

Kirk: I'm afraid we can't reveal everything we know, Gilligan.
Spock: Captain, we could say that Gilligan & his friends have some... interesting experiences in store for them.
Kirk: Yes, I think we could say that. Three to beam up, Scotty.
[I noticed the yeoman/lieutenant in the background.]
Spock: Live long and prosper, Gilligan.
Kirk: And give Mary-Ann & Ginger my regards. Energize.
The Super Bowl? The Stanley Cup? The World Cup? Pft, you can have those trophies, this right here is the GOAT trophy.
Could you imagine the celebration? The players hoist the trophy over their heads...all of the confetti fires away around them and then suddenly...*pop* the Pop Tarts pop up?
It'd be brilliant.

I had almost forgotten about this video. Directed by Michel Gondry (of Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind fame), this light pop song by Kylie Minogue was elevated by an absolutely brilliant video idea and execution. Watch it a billion times and you'll never see how it's edited together. I promise it's worth the watch. Enjoy!
