Ramparts

LPOD-Jan28-09.jpg
image by Jim Ferreira, Livermore, California

Every image of the Moon tells multiple stories. Which shall this be - the lines of valleys resulting from scouring and secondary cratering from Imbrium? The saucers on the floor of Albategnius, buried by smooth Imbrium ejecta? Or the irregular rim of Ptolemaeus revealed by the shadows half way across its floor? No. No. Yes, the shadows remind me of an old fortress with a tower on one end and a serrated wall with the occasional staff flying flags and pennants. The columnar-looking tower shadow is cast by the broad massif or peak Chuck Wood

Technical Details
4" ED refractor + DMK21AU04.
This is another image I found within the LPOD Photo Gallery - what a resource!
