In The Photos of La Vanguardia Readers we can see the moon between our fingers, as can be seen in one of these two snapshots taken in Sant Fost de Campcentelles.
The lunar calendar for June, at this point, provides us with the entry into the first quarter on the 26th, starting at 09:50 a.m., under the sign of Libra.
To see the next Full Moon, you have to wait until Monday, July 3. It is known as the Deer Moon and will take place at 1:40 p.m. Spanish peninsular time.
In front of the photograph of the moon between the fingers, reference should be made to the optical illusion, which leads us to perceive reality in various ways. It can be of a physiological nature, associated with the effects of excessive stimulation in the eyes or the brain (brightness, color, movement, etc). Or also of a cognitive nature, in which our knowledge of the world intervenes (such as Rubin’s vase in which we perceive two faces from the side or a vase indistinctly).
Many artists have taken advantage of optical illusions to give their works a magical aspect, depth, ambiguity and contrasts. Photography does not escape this type of effect, as we can see with this image of the moon between our fingers.
Perspective also comes into play. In this case, the snapshot gives us to understand that we are capable of reducing the moon to a sufficient size to hold it between our fingers.
