Moonrise this evening, about 7pm at the State Beach. The wind was strong; sand flew in our faces; and the clouds raced at breakneck speed. The moon alone seemed to keep the world from blowing apart.
I’m going to skip over the sunsets from our last weekend on the island and go right away to the moonrise. The moon was full–so full that objects cast sharp shadows in the silver light. On the night we left, the moon was rising as we waited for the ferry. It was mostly veiled by clouds, but I caught this moment at Old Harbor.
Hard as it is to believe, I will be out of the country–and probably without my computer–this time next week. If I am able to make posts, I’ll write about my trip. So for now the sunsets are on hold. More in January!
Happy holidays, everyone!
