This full moon was what was called a ‘supermoon’- it’s the closest the moon has been to the earth in 18 years, which accounted for higher and lower tides than usual.
My family is attempting to start a monthly tradition of doing ‘full moon walks.’ This was our first, and it’s still cold here in Alaska, so we set out in our truck to search for the moonrise.
Kyah spotted the first glimpse of light coming over the top of the mountains.
The first shimmer of light
We pulled off the road and waited (me with my tripod outside, the rest of the family bundled up inside the truck eating oranges).
Soon the ‘supermoon’ began to emerge.
Camera shake resulted in a 'moon fall'
Peaking her head above the mountains (or is the moon male?)
I guess it's the 'man in the moon', so definitely a boy...???
Alien eye...just for fun.
Ooohh...spooky
A gorgeous moonscape
