MOONSET, MOONRISE – DECEMBER’S FULL WOLF MOON

2 Replies

A full day of beautiful skies allowed for wonderful moon views of the setting and rising  full December Wolf Moon. Also called the Long Night Moon, Ice Moon, Cold Moon, and the Moon After Yule, December’s full moon marks the 13th full moon of 2020.

Several of the photos are from the night before and several from this morning. The two Eastern Point Lighthouse photos are double exposures. All were taken around our East Gloucester neighborhood, from Good Harbor Beach to the EPLighthouse.

RARE GOLDEN BLUE MOON HALLOWEEN FULL MOON OVER GLOUCESTER HARBOR

Beautiful golden Blue Moon set over Gloucester Harbor. The photos were taken from East Main Street, looking towards City Hall. Capturing the flag from across the Harbor on the eve of this historic election, Blue Moons occur about every 2.5 years while the next Halloween Full Moon won’t take place for another 18 – 19 years.  

Happy Halloween everyone!
