Greetings from San Cristobal, NM. This week the Super, Blue Moon Rise from the deck at home in San Cristobal. I said I would share the moon rise if the skies were clear. They cooperated fully, with the thin veil of clouds adding an air of mystery.
I’ll begin with the first glow I saw about five minutes before the moon appeared. It gave me time to adjust my settings and anticipate the next few shots.
Of course, every moon rise is a sight to see. I am always excited as the moon clears the mountains where we live. Also, there is nothing like having a bright moon that you can drive with your headlights off and see the driveway ahead and the whole valley beyond lit up. The upside is that it’s like daylight in the house, so no nightlights are needed. The downside, sleep may be elusive on such a night.
The next full moon will be the Harvest Moon on September 29. Here’s a Harvest Moon nearly full with a rainbow for added glory. Read more here about the Super Blue Moon.
As always, thanks for looking and for all the comments and compliments. Have a great week. G

Hey Geraint, I love the moon with rainbow. It is wonderful when everything just falls into place.
Thank you so much, Hadley. I feel things fall into place when we let them. I knew the moon was there but it waited for the rainbow to present itself. Glad I waited. G
I love these photos. They dazzle and resonate on their own, and remind me of Gene Kloss images.
I’ll take that compliment. Thanks so much, Jim. G
Grateful for the many wonderful photos of Luna you’ve shared. M
I really appreciate that Mara, and you looking in all these years. Thank you. G
Stunning as usual, Geraint! Always look forward to seeing your images.

Thank you so much, Peter. I’ve had a good look around your website and thoroughly enjoyed your work. Cheers. G
Great shots. Very patient. That was some picture September 2016. Your mum and dad loved the moon and its connection to you. Do you see it first or do I see it first over here.?
Alison.
It rises for you first but I like that it’s always the same moon we see and share. Time is irrelevant. That my mum always reminded me that she was looking at the moon and thinking of me, definitely kept us close. Thanks so much, Alison. G
