Big Moon

Jerry Pickard, our own Moon Man, says of this shot, "I went up to the ball fields at Shorecrest which is the high point of the Shoreline neighborhood.  I got in position just in time to see the moon clear the mountain tops and immediately climb into a cloud bank.  Since it was a small cloud bank I decided to wait for the moon to climb above the clouds.  About fifteen minutes later I was rewarded with the following shot."

The eastern light our spires touch at morning,
The light that slants upon our western doors at evening,
The twilight over stagnant pools at batflight,
Moon light and star light, owl and moth light,
Glow-worm glowlight on a grassblade.
O Light Invisible, we worship Thee!
