Balconies and the Moon

If there is one prominent symbol of Ramadan it is the crescent moon. Although it is a symbol of Islam itself, the crescent moons are really all over the place during Ramadan. Following on from the last post about sitting on my balcony at suhoor, I've come to realise that I've been looking at the moon a lot since the beginning of Ramadan. I look at it every night and I am able to really notice the way it changes.... as it waxes and wanes or whatever you call it.

Which led me to realise that this is the first time in my life since I was very young that I actually am living in a place with a balcony. Balconies rock. Here are some photos from mine.
