SkyWatch Friday: Moon Over the Ocean

Moon rise off Ocean Isle Beach, North Carolina. May 8, 2009.

This is my post for Skywatch Friday, a meme for sharing views of the sky from all over the world.  To see more, or to join and share your own photos of the sky, click HERE.

Last May, while Betsy and I were at Ocean Isle Beach in North Carolina, we were treated to the moon rising over the ocean right across from our room.  It was a beautiful sight that we enjoyed from our balcony for a couple of clear nights.  I don’t have the best of cameras, but the picture above is a wonderful reminder of a special night at the beach.

    A lovely picture. I’d never have guessed you weren’t right down there on the beach. And over to the left you can see some little man made lights, which are certainly nothing in comparison with God’s.
