April moonrise over the Grand Marais Lighthouse


























Last night after work we headed to Grand Marais to photograph the rising full moon behind the lighthouse.  At first it looked as though we may not see the moon much if at all, because there was what appeared to be a cloud bank forming on the eastern horizon.  As it turned out, though, we were able to see the moon completely and once it rose a little ways into the sky the thin clouds started to illuminate from the moonlight and really complemented the scene.  I made plenty of photos as the moon passed behind the lighthouse, but this one where the moon is just above and to the right of the lighthouse is my favorite.  I really liked how the reflection of the moonlight and the reflection of the lighthouse light are side by side on the water.  What a magical sight!
