We spent the Mid-autuman Festival this year in Canada, some eight to nine thousand miles away from Hong Kong.The top photo shows the moon on October 3rd, 2009 at the riverside on Richmond. The left-hand side shows Vancouver International Airport. The orange dots on the right show the light of the streetlights along the road. The only white circular dot of light was the moon we were longing for that day.
At that time where we were standing was a grassy dam just a few feet above river water on one side and the road was again a few feet below on the other side. I wondered if the river water might overflow one day when the river flooded. That night, it was dark there and we worried that Abby would walk or drop into the water because the river water was just a few feet away. Since it was quite dark, a little chilled and no people were seen, we just walked for a while and kept standing and eating the mini-mooncakes we brought along.
A similar car like ours arrived and a family stepped out of it They had the same will of watching the moon and eating mooncakes there. Soon we left with our two missions finished and wondered how long they would stay there!

The moon is so beautiful and elegant, even at night time we could see the greatness of our Heavenly Father, the creator of our universe.
