Moon over Kingston-Rhinecliff Bridge

Twilight


A great weather day just in time for a Full Moon. Walked up to the tower with plenty of time to watch the sun set. It was quite cool up there considering it's mid June. The sun set off some nice colors.

I then waited for the moon to rise. It took a bit since there was quite a bit of humidity. But, then I saw some bright orange making its way through the clouds above the horizon. The moon became visible about 15 minutes after it rose.

Having enough of the wind on the tower, I headed over to the cliffs and just chilled out taking in the views. The moon rose right above the bridge. All the lights in Kingston were visible. There was a nice breeze and it was just the right temperature. Content, I sat for about an hour. So good to be alive.
