I went on a Western Caribbean cruise with my siblings in 2005. It was the only real vacation we ever had together. My parents never went on vacation. I have gotten together with family members in other cities for special occasions like weddings and funerals, but those were not real vacations.
After two days together, I was already getting sick of being with them. I decided to forgo the nightly entertainment and wandered the ship alone. My first night alone coincided with a full moon. The exceptional beauty of the Caribbean Moon coupled with the joy of being free from mandatory "fun" was a profoundly moving experience. I wanted to capture the beauty of the pink moon, but my camera was inadequate. The Moon appeared white and the sky appeared dark purple in my photos.
This is my digital reconstruction of what I saw that night.

In it, Superman lands in some tiny Russian village instead of Smallville and becomes the champion of the Motherland instead of the bastion of Freedom. It is not nearly as good as the premise.

This picture reminded me of a book I read when I was little:

My father bought a clock that had an illuminated image of a pink moon. I stared at it every night for a week. It died after that and he threw it away.

My grandmother always blamed me for breaking the light bulbs. I can hear the high pitched hum of incandescent bulbs prior to breaking. When nobody believes my prediction that the light will fail, I show them by turning it off. It never turns on again. Despite being 100% correct, nobody ever believed my predictions. I was blamed instead, despite the fact that there is no wrong way to flip the switch.

It looks so beautiful and romantic and peaceful yet passionate.

Beautiful work. Makes me wish I could have seen the real thing.

I wish I had a better camera when I was there. It was indeed beautiful. It was possibly the most beautiful thing I ever saw.This is my digital reconstruction of what I saw that night.

Wait, is this a photo that you cleaned up or is it something you created? I was under the impression it was the latter. It's amazing either way; I'm just curious.Sat Apr 2, 2011 9:07:44 pm

This is a digital reconstruction. I used a photo of a sunset with colors and luminosities modified and added a photo of water that was recolored. It is as close as I could make it to the appearance of the real scene.Sat Apr 2, 2011 9:11:51 pm

The photo isn't real, but it's a reconstruction of something that was real.
