Robert's Ramblings

Am so used to seeing the moon set upon the ocean. Tonight's setting moon was an unexpected delight.

Almost all the light coming from this new waxing moon is coming from light reflected back from our Earth. Although a common sight it is one I never seem to capture.

The only part of the moon lit by sunlight is that thin crescent gently kissing the trees.

The second time this year a sea mist has made the beach a mystical place to be.

Shooting directly into the sun it was impossible not to blow out the middle of the image but it was worth it to capture the tones in the sand and weed.

Just another day on the beach.
