With the weather being so absolutely gorgeous, it would have been a god damn shame to miss the sunset over the Catskills and a rising full moon.
The VPo man and I headed over to Burger Hill. An easy walk here leads to astounding views of the countryside and some of the most commanding views of the Catskills. Windy as fuck, I wished I brought a jacket. Nevertheless, it did not take away from a nice sunset and the perfectly circular orange moon.
As the sun set, we watched numerous stars begin to pop out. Observing this, it amazed me how much brighter Venus is than anything else in the sky (except for the moon). The Vpo Man and I overstayed our visit. Burger Hill park closes at sunset and the gate gets locked. The steward was kind enough to walk up and let us know he was closing. We had a nice walk down and he seemed to appreciate the rising full moon.
Great pictures. After seeing the one of me with the moon, I realized that you could do frame some cool photos during a moorise at the site, like posing your hands as if you're holding the moon or catching the moon, or positioning yourself so the moon is right on top of your head.
