Quote from Oscar Wilde.

Photo for 12th - 18th November. Taken on 13th after a trip to see The Awakening at the cinema. Believe it or not it was taken at 9 o'clock at night and that's the moon not the sun. Gotta love long exposures! :)

P.S. If you follow my sister on Twitter you may remember her rant about me being eaten by a zombie during the zombie apocalypse... This is what I was doing at the time.
