Beautiful Night

How beautiful is night!
A dewy freshness fills the silent air;
No mist obscures, nor cloud, nor speck, nor stain,
Breaks the serene of heaven:
In full-orbed glory, yonder moon divine
Rolls through the dark-blue depths.
Beneath her steady ray
The desert-circle spreads.
Like the round ocean, girdled with the sky.
How beautiful is night!
– SOUTHEY

@Joanne, thanks for stopping by as usual. I think you hit it right on the nail. Serene is the key word for this photo…

I couldn’t take my eyes off that gorgeous image.
Where did you locate that image? What a beautiful
night indeed.

Thank you for sharing. Peace
