"Crossroads in the Sky" - above Point Dume, CA | SEE IT IN FULL SCREEN

For the WWP Equinox event Crossroads I looked again to the heavens at one special time of year when the Moon and Sun take their corners and fight to claim the sky. Naturally they tend towards their own dominions and the Sun gives up the night to the light of the Moon to watch over the Earth all through the night. Night and day the Moon chases the Sun, and sometimes it catches up and we have an eclipse, and they truly seem to cross paths. Today they are diametrically opposed in space and time from Earth's perspective; taking their posts to watch in turn over the Earth. In reality, the equinox is simply two times of year when the Sun appears to be directly over head at a point on the equator, and when equally distant points from the equator in each hemisphere experience the same length of day and night.
