This is my 100th post and if you had told me 2 and half years ago that would have written 100 posts, I would not have believed you.
It is fitting that my 100th post is about May’s Full Moon. On paper, this full moon had the potential to be great: it was going to line up perfectly over the Coit tower, the timing was perfect, exactly 32 minutes after sunset (so the sky would be a great blue) and it would really be a full moon (30 minutes later).
I forgot one thing, it is summer here now in San Francisco, which means that Karl the fog is present. I was hoping all day that it would stay cool so the fog would stay away.
When the moon showed up, it was looking good but in a couple minutes as the moon was rising, the fog was moving in. In a matter of minutes, I got this image and the following one. That was the last time I saw the moon that evening.

Fog is interfering with the full moon. The Coit tower is blue to celebrate the Warriors going to the NBA playoffs.
And don’t forget my exhibit this Saturday: http://www.eventbrite.com/e/san-francisco-art-photography-exhibition-tickets-16371582845
