During Global Astronomy Month 2018
I saw in Bucharest’s Youth Park (the Children World zone),
among the tree branches electrically illuminated,
the brightest bodies:
Veuus, Sirius and Arcturus (April 9)
and Jupiter (April 12, pre-morning),
and I made other pictures in April 8-13.

And I wrote:

Sometimes I prefer to think that
Venus is the planet of beauty
inspiring
terrestrial beauties.





















Sometimes I prefer to think that
Sirius is not a far giant,
but a close friend
of our Sun.



















Sometimes I wonder if
Arcturus has
his own chariot,
just like the Sun has.



















Sometimes I have to recognize that
Jupiter is nice
only from remoteness
and frightful
from closeness.













Sometimes I plunge to catch up with
the Winter Triangle…









… but the lights of the city
turn me back.















Thus, I prefer to think that
the terrestrial beauties
are truly inspirational for
Venus, the planet of beauty.
