Description
My first moonlit image. The title is a dual play on the word "awake". I found my subject sitting, awake, in the darkness of the night. It put me in mind of a buddha sitting in meditation, awake to the fullness and stillness of the present moment. The Fine Art logo will not appear on the image.
