The Full Moon was due to rise on Saturday, August 13th but clouds threatened to block its ascent.  I plotted out where the Sturgeon moon was due to rise and struggled with a landmark that would capture the town of Marblehead as well as the beauty of moonrise.  It was when I noticed its position in relation to Devereux beach that I had my answer.  After making a study of the lifeguard chairs, I knew they would feature in this image.  I backed up so that I could fit the chair and the moon’s path with my 200mm lens that would serve to make the moon seem a bit larger and waited.  As the sun set, the clouds rolled in and I watched the moon rise behind a layer of haze at the horizon.  It was only when it reached the level of the lifeguard chair that it made a brief appearance that you see above.
