Lightbulb Full moon...

I can never sleep well during a full moon!

Several years ago we had a full moon set over the lake...
it was just amazing about 4am.

For some reason I couldn't sleep as usual so I went out on the dock to check the boat and found this:
I had my own camera and did other shots. This one was done
by my husband with his camera. So much depends on the weather, etc to catch this event. I have noticed that the moon sets at other times, so it must be a many year cycle to hit what we saw. This is NOT a digital camera shot.
And was done just as the sun was rising behind us. It was a lucky thing to have that
cement freighter there just at that moment!

I should scare up my setting ones maybe today... I have one with the moon on the horizon. But it is not as good as the one my hubby took. This one was taken with a telephoto lens on his Nikon SLR film camera. I seem to recall he steadied on the dock to get the long exposure.

This was about the time of the morning that the fishermen go out. I bet they see
spectacular things some days! The deep water out there where the moon is setting is where the salmon are.
