Lovely image Paul, I like the way the shadow of the Crater wall is cast on to the floor of Plato. It gives you an idea how that 'wall' would look if you were looking onto it from the lunar surface. Have you noticed the mountain just below the crater, looks like a giant sundial :-)

Hello David,
Now that you mention it I have looked at the image more closely and seen thinks that I would have probably missed. Thats the good thing about sharing images, other people spot things of interest and point them out to you.
Thanks again for your comments.
