Moon rise

After dinner today, we took Lucy for a long walk along the Wharf in town. While the setting sun was beautiful shining on the Bay, it was also completely obnoxious. We could barley see where we were walking with our arms held over our heads shielding our eyes from the bright sunlight. Other walkers were doing the same too.

On our way home in the car with our sun visors flipped downwards,  we wondered why some people will only consider having a cottage with a western exposure. A setting sun is blinding!

When we got home, we poured out a glass of wine and sat out on the front deck which has an eastern exposure and this is what we saw...

The moon was rising like a huge orange ball of cheese. The reflection in the water is more accurate of the true colour. For some reason, my camera cannot capture the moon accurately but I suppose it's more the fault of the operator.

At any rate it rose so magnificently over the island and it wasn't blinding at all.

Gotta love an eastern exposure!!
