August Moon

A full August moon on the North Shore of Minnesota. Weather was clear and cool at night.
Perfect for moon viewing. This is the view from the cabin near Lutsen. What would be better in the evening? I typed in August Moon on Google and it came up with hundreds of Chinese restaurants and a few old songs. But to my surprise the moon in August is called the Sturgeon Moon. I would have never guessed that one. Next August 2012 we will have two full moons in August. The second is always called the Blue Moon.

    That is a fantastic photograph! That is one of my favorite sights.....a full moon on a large Northern Bay! Nothing is really more beautiful than nature itself!

    It was a fantastic moon this evening with clear skies. Almost like daytime.
