Hi Friends, First my apologies for not posting for a long time. I had taken a small break but now back again with my new Canon 60D and 17-40 f/4.0 L USM. It's an amazing combo, this shot is straight out of the camera. Tonight I went to the Pier 66/Bell Street Pier in Seattle. The Bell Street Pier is a destination in and of itself. But if you'd like to explore, the Pier is within walking distance of the Pike Place Market, hotels, restaurants, jogging paths, public parks, The Seattle Aquarium, the Seattle Art Museum, other entertainment and shopping facilities.

The only reason I saw this moon at 2 am is because our cat, Razor, jumped up on our bed and woke me...wanting to get out. Down the stairs I went, opened the door and looked out. It took less than a minute to wake up, grab my camera and tripod and head out to 'shoot the moon' An hour later I had some shots of the moon as it moved across the horizon. Really, it should be called 'Razor's Moon'Bluehour Harbour
