Unless you live under a block of concrete, or you simply have no interest in natural beauty, you may have noticed the Perigee Moon illuminating the sky last night. The Perigee Moon, approximately 14% bigger and 30% brighter than the opposite apogee moon, is about 50,000 km closer to earth and occurs every 18 years or so. The last one was in March 1993, the month and year my brother was born. Last night, on the 19th of March 2011, it appeared again - on my brother's 18th birthday.
These pictures were taken between 7:32 pm and 8:40 pm, overlooking the harbor in Dana Point, California.
The moon presented itself as a dangerous beauty, illuminating the sky even behind dark clouds. Watching the boats trickle in and out of the harbor was calming and gracious as they slid across the moon's reflection on the ocean surface.
Cheers to natural wonders out there - and to those who appreciate it
HALO
