After a solar introduction (2018 April 16),
in 2018 April 18-26 I followed the increasing Moon in Bucharest
(among other beauties of the world),
and I imagined she was the goddess Selene,
while I was Endymion,
a contemporary sky lover.

A SHORT EXPEDITION TO THE YOUTH PARK
or
FEELING LIKE A FALLEN FROM POLARIS
TO THE REST OF THE SKY
-2018 April 21-

The Sun crowning a tree…



Willows decorating the lake…



The Moon walking over the lake…







Venus looking for the best position…





Pretty Betelgeuse envious of beautiful Venus…



The Winter Triangle on duty…



Sirius in an access of romanticism…



Arcturus also demanding a place over the lake…



The Winter Triangle sustaining the Moon
to become trustful Selene…



GREEN, NATIONAL FLAG AND BLUE

THE MOON AS A DOVE

A GATE TOWARD THE SUN AND THE MOON

…and Regulus the Leonian
seeming just like a satellite of the Moon
or just like a guardian of bright Selene…



CELESTIAL DANDELIONS
-2018 April 26-













Dear Selene,
my conclusion is that you are too high for me.

I’m afraid that in the 21st century
I cannot fall in love with you.

I have too many
personal problems, exhausting plans,
and factures and taxes to be paid,

So I prefer to remain a simple mortal
who just admire… not only you,
but also your rival Venus!
