         Even the moon stayed up for me this morning

      Saw this mark on the face of Alport stone and took a shot of                it looks like he's looking at the moon

  On my way back home i took a lane i had nether drove down before        and found this view from one of the fields ,also found an electric fence as well set the tripod up and camera, leaned on the fence zap it was electric ,
