Bad Moon Risin'

Album Info:
I went out to my backyard to turn off the sprinkler and saw this HUGE moon rising up through the clouds. I ran back into the house to grab my equipment. By the time I got set up, the moon had raised up above the clouds and I had already missed a really jaw dropping scene by a matter of just a few minutes. I'm definitely going to have to purchase some better glass to shoot the moon with... and get quicker on my feet. Still, I don't think this came out too bad.

I don't remember you having this wonderful story when I viewed this last!! ahahaha!!! It is wonderfully funny! I know what you mean!! It happens to me on Maui usually as I am returning on the Hana Highway in spring with the sunsets. The sun appeared one evening as an enormous gigantic unbelievably huge golden orb in the sky!!!! It was everything I could do to not go careening off a 1000 foot cliff and keep my eyes on the road!!!!! It was so frustrating trying to clear the trees and I had to drive all the way back to Ho'okipa before I could get a shot, so by that time of course the magic moment had passed and the entire North Shore was awash in this amazing golden glow! I loved that too of course, it was beautiful!! But I'll always wish I could have gotten that shot. It was as if you took a grapefruit and held it up to the sky for scale, or a large baseball, that was the size of it!!!! Oh! And by the by, this is a gorgeous image, beautiful lavender and blue light!! Sharon
