VENUS AND THE CRESCENT MOON

Photo taken by my friend JP Bersier the other night while walking his dog. It was so late that the moon had already given up on getting anywhere with Venus and had gone to bed…

Nobody strikes a pose like Venus,

Hovering like Ava Gardner in silver lamé,

Just beyond the reach of a crescent moon

Eyeing her with the crooked smile of a matinee idol.

I chose to mention Ava Gardner because she used to holiday on the Costa Brava, in Tossa de Mar, where there is a statue in her honour as you walk up to the fortress on the top of the hill with amazing views of the sea and the town. I also think there was a well known Korean series shot in Tossa, or maybe an episode or two, as it attracts lots of Koreans who come especially. Kind of like the cathedral in Girona, where fans of Game of Thrones love to come!

Anyway, my papa loved seeing Ava Gardner and enjoyed patting her bum! Please don’t cancel him…
