Whoa! Very eerie and Halloweeny. The shadows seem to be dancing in the moonlight. Excellent shot, Hugh.

I see lots of faces and that green man and the UFO or as they want us to call them now UAP’s, but will it catch on? Great tree shadows evoking a eerie atmosphere :)

  Thank you. I’ve never heard the term UAP’s. I don’t think it’s catching on. Not yet, anyway. But glad you spotted the UFO and green man.

I love how an everyday scene can change to an eerie one at night. The surrounding darkness and cast shadows are creepy enough… throw in a UFO and I’m about ready to head back for home.

  You’re right, Janis. The scene in this photo is so different during the day. The shadows of the trees cast by sunlight do not look as eerie as the the ones casted by the moonlight.

  I don’t see a blue flare, but, yes, what other nighttime objects can you see?

    The dot beside the cloud – that’s the lens flare as per my understanding, due to the bright moon on the right hand side. I have so many pictures spoilt by those that now I can spot them immediately.

      Other people have told me that those are spheres. I’ve read some interesting stuff about them. The moon was very bright that night, but you could still see the stars.

  Those shadows from the moonlight sure do give the photo a touch of eeriness.
  Thanks for your link, Esme. Yes, I do believe in fairies. And I do believe in elves too. I’ve seen them work for Father Christmas.

I love how the lens captures otherworldly things, Hugh! The creepy tree shadows on the building were great but the lens flare showing us the UFO and the green man waving (I saw it too) capped it off perfectly! I’m sure the sound of the dry leaves added to the thrill. Thanks for linking this with Sunday Stills this week :)

  Glad you saw the little green man and UFO, Terri.
  
  These types of photos are fun to explore with the light creating plenty of stuff you have to really check twice.
  
  It was the shadows of the trees on the side of the house that I was trying to get. Then I noticed the full moon, but that did not come out as well as some of the other elements of the photo.
  
  I was also amazed that I captures some stars. Given the millions of miles they are away, they must be the furthest things I’ve ever captured on photo.

  The moonlight helped that night. It helps cast the nighttime shadows which give everything an eerie feel.

  Yes, nighttime photos with moonlight and shadows can be very atmospheric, Cathy. It was windy that night too, so the sound of the wind through the branches helped.

A full moon or a strong light? Seems a tad bright and “beamy” for the moon. Maybe a UFO?

  That bright object is the moon, Liesbet. I took this photo on my iPhone 14. There is a UFO with a little green man waving in the pic, though. Well, I think there is anyway.

  Yes, those shadows of the trees were rather eerie on the side of the house, Sunra. they certainly added atmosphere to the photo.
