Description

Multistacking 3x (900/7500).

Mare Nubium (Sea of Clouds) doesn't seem like a very attractive place, but the ripples add some glamor to the scenery. On the one hand, the young Bullialdus prides itself on its terraced embankment, on the other, Rupes Recta plunges into a dark abyss. Its appearance is unusual and I can confidently admit that you rarely find a more interesting shot. After all, write it down, paint a "swampy depression" drawing Huygens' Sword into the murky depths. With the remnants of the light, her blade flash deceptively, encouraging - take me! - and die with me ... Even if you do not have such a hint from your imagination, the image itself draws in and hypnotizes, fortunately without these sad consequences.

Pitatus and Hesiodus, embellished with a rich ornament of ditches and clefts, look a bit like a turtle on a leash.
