For the first time in what feels like forever, the full moon was set to rise and not clouds or rain threatened to get in the way. I had mapped out the projected location of the moon from several spots including Fort Sewall but decided earlier in the day on a completely different spot.

As the sun set, I made my way up the grass hill of Seaside Park and to the backside where it faces the harbor. I found trees in the way so I descended to an open area of granite where I could set up and wait. I had forgotten to account for one tiny factor and promptly was eaten by mosquitoes as I watched the minutes slowly pass and waited for tonight’s Sturgeon full moon to appear.

Once it did, the bites faded as I quickly adjusted compositions and captured this frame of the full moon rising over Tinker’s, the Neck and a single lamp post on the causeway.
