On the occasion of the first full moon of the the year: Moonlight.
Let’s hope the clouds allow some moon spotting tonight as it will be a partial eclipse and the moon will have a grey veil in front of her face.

Looking east to the step in the river, next to the lock for ships.

We did go outside at the weekend – and I ended up walking on a rubber band (amongst other circus acts). It’s not a selfie but I found the photo of me and our grandson on my camera … go figure.

A wolf doing unwolfish things on a mosaic from Aldborough Roman town in Yorkshire.
A whole castle of wolves (albeit en miniature) in the Obrunn gorge near Höchst im Odenwald.
And all that to respond to a quote about sheep:
“It is useless for the sheep to pass resolutions in favour of vegetarianism while the wolf remains of a different opinion.”
William Ralph Inge, “Patriotism”, in Outspoken Essay (1919)

And for the cute factor: this is from last year when we thought we had a big cat but now we know he was only a kitten.

And as of today, Santa and his reindeer have their light switched off. Definitely my last Christmas lights photo for a while, promise! See you again in about 11 months.
And as an aside: isn’t the sunlight from the rear vivid?
