Once In A Blue Moon

It’s been years ago when I heard this phrase.  My aunties had used this like a hundred times when I was little.  Yet, I never dared ask if there was literally a blue moon as I’ve had never seen one.  It seemed like a myth that passed on from mouth to mouth without any proof of its existence.  I don’t remember how my aunts used this phrase before but the meaning was easy to grasp.  It’s like saying, “Hey, you’re visiting us once in a blue moon.  We missed you so much.”  I have not used this phrase myself nor heard anyone utter the phrase in any verbal context anymore.

It’s kind of late to post this blue moon phenomenon but I’ll post it anyway.  Not for the sake of it but for the pictures I took the night when a blue moon would appear.  It was said that New Year’s Eve would have a blue moon  so I waited patiently (on December 31, 2009) for it to appear but here’s what I got…

Blue Moon Night

Supposed to be a blue moon night

Wikipedia has an interesting facts about the Blue Moon.  And maybe by looking at my photo above, you may realize that there is no literal blue moon.  The next blue moon will occur on November 21, 2010 and by that time maybe I will have the courage to burn a forest so the moon will appear blue, lol!

The Leonardo Da Vinci’s Bridge

Leonardo Da Vinci’s Bridge in NorwayPhoto by: Hubby

This Leonardo Da Vinci’s Bridge can be seen spanning E18, the highway between Oslo, Norway and Sweden in the township of Ås. This stunning bridge was originally designed by Leonardo Da Vinci, the artist of the Renaissance, in 1502 but never built. It was 500 years after when the Norwegian artist, Vebjorn Sand took the idea of building the bridge. It was unveiled on October 31, 2001.

The bridge serves as a pedestrian bridge over a highway in the town of Ås. It spans about 220 ft. long with a height of 26 ft. The Leonardo Da Vinci’s bridge honors both the Renaissance artist and the contemporary artist of all time.
