Is this nature's lampstand?steemCreated with Sketch.

Of course I had to wait, but at last I got the moon in the right place!

The skies were clouded and I struggled to get some moon shots, but as the saying goes; "Work with what you have".
So I decided to get a little bit arty and to try something different. The lamp pole that you see in the picture above is a part of the frame on the fancy air vents that were built into the roof, as it was popular 100 years ago.
Due to the cloudy conditions, I tried to get some night shots.
Let's have a look.

Here you can see the elaborate air vent on the roof at night!

And here is a shot of the air vent by day!
I waited until the full moon was at the tip of the post for the first picture in this post. My idea was to create a lamp scenario. Did it work?

I will also show you some other cloudy moon shots here, all taken last night!

The last photo was the only almost clear shot that I got in the clouds!

I have placed this post early today, as we don't know when the scheduled power cut will kick in today and recently I was switched off in the middle of some posts and had to re-do everything when the power was switched on again. I can only imagine what people would say if there's a power cut and they have a roast in the oven.

There was an article in the news today about a crematorium's oven that was cut off in the middle of a cremation process and the family that attended suffered severe trauma.
The good news is that many people are searching for alternative ways to power their homes with electricity.
Solar panel sales are going through the roof and it is so much cleaner to power a home with the sun.
The universe will be saying thank you!

We hope that you have enjoyed the pictures and thank you for visiting a post by @papilloncharity

Oh, yes! You are really experiencing some severe rolling outages and other wonderful things. Oi! God bless you and your perseverance!

And as a side note, your photography has gotten so amazing, I almost don't recognize the photographer of yesterday when I met you! You totally kill it now!

Well done!

Thank you Blondie and you have certainly also become sweeter, if indeed such a thing is possible!
Blessings!

Awww! Thanks, Stephen! :)

I really liked all the options! Lantern-turned out great. The moon in the clouds is very romantic. The last shot shows the details of the lunar surface.

Why turn off the electricity? I sympathize, it is very unpleasant, modern man is so used to comfort. Electricity provides a lot.

Beautiful photos, and yes you hit the mark with the lamp post one. The others are wonderful as well. Great composition and coloring. I'm sorry you are going through the power outages and other problems. A serious problem like you said with winter coming on.

Very nice shot! It's worth waiting for something like that! Glad you got it, and hope you didn't have to wait too long...

You have perseverance @papillioncharity ♥ The power outages you experience...wow. I can't imagine having that to live with! It's too bad that moon can't lunar power you up :) Beautiful shots!

Thank you Lady Liza and it is indeed a strain on everyone over here. It is now 7:30pm here and the power will be cut for the third time today at 9:00pm sharp. Businesses suffer and the economy of our country is busy tanking.
It's the poor people, especially the small children and the old people that we are worried about, as we are now in Autumn and Winter is looming!
Blessings!

Awesome moon shots and well worth the weight to line up the moon in that first shot that is so cool

Thank you and glad that you liked it my friend!
Blessings!

wow perfect angel of capture @papilloncharity
Beautiful moon. Awesome photographs my friend...

Waiting was the name of the game here my friend!
Thank you!
Blessings!

Wow, fourth & fifth to the last picture looks like an eye. Or the night walker’s eye of “Game of thrones” tv show (if your familar).

Always fun to read your stories our dear @papillonchairty ❤️

Have a great day!

You have a real imaginative eye Lady Joy, as I looked at the pictures now again and I can also see the night walkers stare.
Glad to know that my stories are liked!
Blessings!
