Two Men Contemplating the Moon (German: Zwei Männer in Betrachtung des Mondes) and Man and Woman Contemplating the Moon are a series of similar paintings by Caspar David Friedrich, the setting being among his best-known works. Friedrich painted at least three versions, with one variation featuring a man and a woman. The 1819–20 version in the Galerie Neue Meister is thought to be the original; the c. 1824 variant with a woman is in the Alte Nationalgalerie; and the c. 1830 version is in the Metropolitan Museum of Art.
So this must be the 1824 version. Posted by: rhennigantx at October 03, 2022 09:47 AM (BRHaw) Posted by: andycanuck (yikp0) at October 03, 2022 09:47 AM (yikp0) 78

Artist biography: Caspar David Friedrich was the most important German painter and draughtsman of the early Romantic period. He started his artistic training in 1790 when he became a private student of Johann Gottfried Quistorp in Greifswald. In 1794 he entered the Academy of Copenhagen where he formed his style copying antique sculptures. During this period he served as an apprentice under Christian August Lorentzen and Jens Juel. These artists were exponents of the Sturm und Drang movement which was characterized by individual subjectivity and heightened emotionality.

I love the composition of this piece. I like how the couple are part of the landscape and add to the framing of the Moon and Venus (I believe). The couple does not distract from the celestial focus. Because of the careful framing, the trees and landscape highlight the lights. The people seem to join nature in admiring them and contemplating them. Friedrich's work is full of this humans-contemplating-nature idea.

good morning 'rons and 'ettes...
today a good news item from West Chester, PA. Chester county had planned an OutFest day on October 1. That is the day that some pyrsyns celebrate Coming OUt! But due to a lot of negative feedback, and "vitriol" - county mouthpiece word - the fest was cancelled. Also, not many vendors were interested in participating, nor did the event attract volunteers.

194 Don’t the SC judges rule individually on cases in the various circuits when they’re “off” during the summer?
Posted by: Bulgaroctonus ---------------------- No, year around, justices are assigned circuits and can issue short stays on a lower court's ruling until the whole Supreme Court votes to hear the case or not. This often occurs by phone, fax, etc. Remnant of older days when Justices used to spend part of their time deciding cases as a circuit judge in a particular jurisdiction aka riding the circuit.

Had a GF that loved Rom Coms. After making me watch a couple with her I'd just starting laying out the whole plot after the first 5m of the movie....see she's going to go home for Christmas from her high power city job, and find some guy she liked in HS who is now in a stereotypical male profession like fireman, lumberjack or demon slayer...
Which led to her no longer wanting to watch the movie with me anymore... WIN WIN! Posted by: 18-1 at October 03, 2022 10:51 AM (ESjRY) 313

Also, abortion is the important issue for something like 5% of the electorate. 4 weeks from the election, Democrats have literally nothing else except a boutique issue for wine moms.

There was also Eli Parker, a Seneca who served on Grant’s staff during the Civil War. When Grant was introducing his staff to Lee at Appomattox after the surrender, Lee, noticing Parker’s Indian features, supposedly said “It’s good to see one real American here,” to which Parker supposedly replied, “We are all Americans now.” Posted by: Bulgaroctonus at October 03, 2022 10:53 AM (9k/S4) 320

The Left has spent the last 80 years making the SCOTUS the 'one-stop shop" for left-leaning agendas.
Now, it appears all of that is going, going, gone. The main message of Dobbs was that 'the SCOTUS is not the dispenser of new "rights"', a message that the Left does not like and has rejected. The proper path for these new "rights" is the Constitutional amendment process. The last Constitutional amendments were the 26th (18 yo vote) in 1971, unratified "Equal Rights Amendment" in 1972, unratified "DC Voting Rights" in 1978 and 27th (Congressional pay raise for next session) in 1992, all 30 or more years ago, so clearly they have liked the SCOTUS path a lot more.
