It was the night of the super moon. Feeling romantic we took nibbles and thermos of coffee down to the beach to watch it rise over the ocean. We weren’t the only ones down there. A gentle breeze cooled the air and slowly the evening descended. The lights came on in the distant buildings.
Looking south to Burleigh headland…
Looking north to Surfers Paradise…
A lovely young couple sat near us and as the moon gradually appeared from between the clouds he began to serenade her.
The moon painted a golden path across the ocean as it rose higher.Then it disappeared behind a big bank of clouds. Time to go home.
But the best was still to come. As we sat on the front deck the moon made a spectacular, but brief, appearance from behind the hi-rise buildings at the end of the street.
Pauline you have captured the highlights of another wonderful day spent in paradise with you.

That last image is fabulous. I once saw a huge moon rise in front of me when driving home in Sheffield, what a sight!

I was lucky to catch that last photo as it only lasted a minute before disappearing behind the trees. I was surprised how clear it was for a handheld image

What a lovely, romantic evening! I love the very first image. It looks so painterly.
The last image of the moon is wonderful and it looks so HUGE!

Wasn’t it a stunner! Here it was a brilliant red colour due to the dust in the air. Mr ET got a gorgeous photo too. How lovely to spend the evening sitting on the beach.

It was a bit cloudy but worth waiting for it to flit between the clouds. Red colouring would be spectacular

Wow! That looks just like our moon!
Does yours come up in the West and set in the East to the South of the Equator?

Well how amazing is that but somehow it still rises in the east and sets in the west…

It is probably inhabited by wallabies though.
