Moon-Crossed
image by Tom Walker, Vero Beach, FL
Shakespeare called Romeo and Juliet star-crossed because there was no hope for their love. Being Moon-crossed is not a commonly recognized condition (and isn't fatal) but it appears to mean being obsessed with seeing crosses along the terminator. Perhaps Tom is not obsessed, but he was pleasantly surprised to stumble upon one of the well-known crosses. Matching his image with sheets 55 and 65 from Jim Mosher's image Chuck Wood
