Simply A Good Harbor Thursday Night

A beautiful night in June for a walk on Good Harbor Beach. Gental breezes and waves crashing.

Simply Moonrise

The last evening of winter had many people gazing at the moonrise.
The weather was very comfortable on the Magnolia side of Gloucester
looking back towards eastern Point Lighthouse.

Right on schedule at 7:15, the moon peeks over the horizon.

Just a minute or so later, the moon is rising quickly in the sky.

The moon sets over West Gloucester on the morning of Christmas Eve.

On Christmas Eve
Written by William Wilfred Campbell

In byre and barn the mows are brim with sheaves,
Where stealeth in with phosphorescent tread
The glimmering moon, and, ’neath his wattled eaves,
The kennelled hound unto the darkness grieves
His chilly straw, and from his gloom-lit shed,
The wakeful cock proclaims the midnight dread.

With mullioned windows, ’mid its skeleton trees,
Beneath the moon the ancient manor stands,
Old gables rattle in the midnight breeze,
Old elms make answer to the moaning seas

Beyond the moorlands, on the wintry sands,
While drives the gust along the leafless lands.

The sun is setting while the moon begins it ascent.

Just barely visible to the right of this seaside home.

The moon and its travelling companion Venus.
