Episode IV: "The Moon and the Mountain: A Symbol of Strength"
Introduction:
Dear friends of Steem for Betterlife, I continue with the fourth chapter of my series, inspired by a special night spent in Peschici, in the Gargano region, on August 15th. That evening, I finally managed to capture a photo of the moon with my iPhone 6, after years of failed attempts. Although it’s not perfect, this image made me reflect deeply. Perhaps the moon, from above, watches us and admires the Earth, contemplating the natural wonders it can never host on its barren surface. This reflection gave life to the series "The Moon Tells: The Wonders of Earth", which I will share with you here on Steem for Betterlife. Each post is dedicated to a natural element of Earth, seen through the eyes of the Moon.
This unexpected shot made me think: perhaps the moon wants to communicate with us, admiring from afar the beauties of Earth that it can never host. This is how the idea for this series of posts, which I will share with you here in Steem for Betterlife, was born: each day, I will publish a photo of a natural element of Earth, accompanied by the fascinated and melancholic gaze of the moon.
Through these posts, I want to convey the messages of hope and reflection that the moon inspired in me that night. I hope that, together, we can learn to see our Earth with new eyes, appreciating its unique and irreplaceable beauty in the universe.
Technique:
The image of the mountain in this post was generated with the help of artificial intelligence, while the photo of the moon was taken by me during my vacation in Peschici, on August 15th, using an iPhone 6. I then merged these images using Photoshop to create a unique composition that represents the dialogue between Earth and its silent celestial observer. Every element of Earth is admired by the Moon, inviting us to reflect on the beauty and strength of our planet.
Concept:
The project combines photography with digital creativity, merging my photo of the moon with natural elements generated by artificial intelligence. This graphic approach aims to capture the audience's attention and provoke deeper reflection. While it may seem contradictory to discuss environmental protection using artificial technologies, I believe this blend of reality and digital creativity highlights the fragility and beauty of Earth. My goal is to raise awareness about the importance of preserving what makes our planet unique.
Image: A majestic mountain against a black background, with the moon gazing from afar.
The Moon gazed at the mountain, solid and majestic, an ancient presence against the horizon. She had no peaks or valleys, only craters. She admired the mountain as a symbol of strength and permanence, a testament to Earth that she could never emulate. Her cold rock felt small in the face of such grandeur. Every peak and ridge represented a silent resistance to time, something the moon, with its barren landscape, could never host.
The mountain, with its imposing and unchanging presence, teaches us strength and resilience. The Moon urges us to preserve this strength, a symbol of nature and our planet.
The Moon observes the Earth and marvels at its beauties, wondering why we, who have the privilege of living them, often take them for granted. Let us protect what makes our planet unique in the universe.

Hi Xiao, how are you? I’m glad you like my perspective on the moon. But what exactly do you mean by ‘writing them first’? Do you mean before we even realized we should write it?

I meant the moon talking first and how you did it at the end.
I am extremely busy but I'm good.

Yes, having done several episodes, the introduction, the technique, and the concept can feel boring and repetitive, with the most important part coming only later. However, since I'm already on the sixth episode, I'm concerned that changing the format might break the coherence with the others. What do you think? I’d like to publish six more and then create a calendar.

Why that? Perhaps you attract new readers? Have a look at #wewrite.. after the title you should start with the story not make people look for it. Ever thought about that? If it takes too long to get to the point the interest of reading is lost. After the picture they might think: How did he do that? and that's the moment you tell how or what.
Imagine someone reads all the episodes and after the title it's always the same "story"...
Well, it's my opinion, now I skip reading it because I already did the first time so I ignore and try to find what the moon has to tell.
Ps. Befor you ask, I took the backdoor.
