Rising moon and...
« on: August 26, 2015, 11:56:36 PM »
High pressure is keeping the fog off the coast until later tonight, so I was able to catch this shot looking ESE. The low up around the PacNW is starting to spit lower cumulous builds our way, so this is an early season opportunity here. The moon popping out was a nice extra. Hope you all enjoy.

Beautiful!  The low sun on the clouds creates incredible color and contrast.  =D>

Nice composition and catch. Any time the moon cooperates, you have to take advantage!
Beautiful!

Thanks, Randall. Around here, anytime the fog cooperates while the moon is out is a blessing! The best time to catch the full moon is the night before fullness, and I'm hoping the weather will allow for some shots tomorrow.  [-o<

Thanks morfeas. Unfortunately, the fog did not cooperate tonight as it came back low and dense. At least it has dropped temps from 90° to 63°F in a few hours. Ahhh... feels good!  \:D/
