I was walking home from the city center, around ten pm. It was a cold -yet warm if compared by last year's weather-lonely night, snow was melting away; probably making room for the new fresh snow that is yet to come. Streets were empty, it is always empty at that hour, while in general the city was empty as it was a holiday time and everyone have found some place to go to in the south of the continent.
As I was walking, I have noticed the full moon. It was in its eternal perfect round shape. While the moon was strongly visible, clouds were fighting to swipe it and hide it from the sky, an indefinite battle.
The unorthodox moon’s silverish light casted upon the Moldefjord in a magical, yet indeed a perfect scene that no human can duplicate. The mountains were dark, as if the moon chose not to give away its blessings to the magnificent mountains, jealousy? Maybe.
Baffled was I, that I could not take my eyes off this amazing nature. That for a moment, I remembered how when I was a child kept thinking that the moon is always following me, children we are and children we will always be compared to this massive amazing universe . The moment felt eternal, as I was trying to capture every detail: from the currents of the water, the silverish moon’s light, the dark mountains, the one or maybe two cars that passed me; every single detail, I was trying to capture all of it and engrave it in my memory. How greatly small are we, yet how great we think we are?
