Beautiful! You really should enlarge that third photo and frame it...so perfect. The moon is such a willing subject sometimes but so hard to capture well.
Serendipity is a good way to describe the perfect of some moments. All comes together and it never happens that way again.

The lamps floating out in to the river entrances me.

I thought particularly of my daughter, you and Francesca, while watching....we were having a debate about whether photography was necessary (esp for birdwatching), and I told my friend that if I saw something, I enjoyed it, but if I photographed it, thanks to the internet, at least two hundred more people would enjoy it, too! :)

Photography might not be strictly necessary but it is much appreciated!

And the photography, while it is being done, is much enjoyed! :) I cannot tell you how beloved my MLC (Mary's Lamb Camera...the Canon SX10) is.

These are simply beautiful, and I agree with pondhopper about the third photo. It is breathtaking--and, in a moment of cross-ocean sharing, I was looking at that same golden moon yesterday, from a hilltop with friends. So golden and so beautiful.

That first recording (the first video) is beautiful--I like the scratchiness of it; it gives me the sense of hearing it across a distance of years.

(also, the floating lamps are mysterious and beautiful... I want to do this one day.)
