Moon Phase

I have always thought that full moons and crescent moons were the prettiest types of moon.  Today, I think that the gibbous is the best. 

The fact that it's almost - but not quite - a perfect circle, on this day, that is what I like about it. 

 

Like I read somewhere about some type of people who would make these intricate designs (tapestries, perhaps?), with patterns and symmetries of color and shape.  But they would make one element the wrong color.  On purpose.  It was supposed to be that way.  

I have no idea if this post is supposed to mean anything at all. 



*Unfortunately, for me, on this day, the gibbous is past and we're somewhere around full right now.

That shape makes me twitch. Crescent moons have nice, clear bilateral symmetry; gibbous just looks like bad radial symmetry.
