The night of June 23 I had marked on my calendar of weeks! With the summer solstice and a few other contributing factors, that night the moon was full and closest as it would be to Earth for the year of 2013. With all the anticipation, I was checking the weather starting the week before and as the day got closer I feared the dreaded Georgia night rain more and more. Luckily it didn't rain, however the week chalked full of rain before made the humidity almost unbearable! Unbearable in the sense that you can not see a mile because the haze is so dense that is. That was my bad luck at the beginning of the night, but my erratic sleep pattern thanks to my graveyard shift was in my favor to being awake very early in the morning. That is when I was able to get my payload of great shots of the Super Moon! The image to the left was taken basically from the driveway of my house just before I made my way to the downtown area on the morning of the 24th. I like the sliver of a cloud barely breaking across the face of the moon while the boughs frame in the earthly satellite. My two holy sites of choice were the Sacred Heart (formerly Catholic Church) and the Trinity Greek Orthodox church in downtown area with their symbolic domes and steeples of Augusta.
