STOMPer P Wong captured this beautiful shot of a full moon on Vesak Day, which seemed to emphasize the miracle of the religious holiday. Taken from his apartment at Thomson Road, the black and white shot seemed to have ironically intensified the brilliance of the full moon as it majestically looked upon the land below from the Eastern direction.In the background was the Airport on the left corner while Suntec City sat serenely on the right.In the foreground was the busy Upper Thomson Road, which will be namedThomson Village, with all the good food outlets.A full moon day holds a special significance among Buddhists because certain important events associated with the life of Lord Buddha took place on full moon days. Full moon days had marked His birth, His renunciation, His Enlightenment and the delivery of His first sermon. His passing away into Nirvana and many other important events associated with His eighty years of life also occurred on full moon days.
