Moonrise

The Pelican of London is normally a dry ship but tonight is party night and we have beers and Prosecco on board. Up on deck the drinks and the conversation flow. The late evening sun on St Michael’s Mount is gorgeous.

9:18pm. Sunset.

9:43pm. Moonrise.

The full moon appears on the horizon, just a thin sliver of light at first. As moonrise continues the sliver becomes a beautiful red oval. Over on shore, unbeknownst to us, a photographer is planning a very special shot.
