Two full moons in January and two in March, but none in February…the clouds held off just long enough last night!

Full moon fjord ice and the otter
A less obvious result of the full moon is drifting ice on the fjord, resulting from unusually high tide releasing ice from the shoreline and floating out into the fjord, here in a long band!
…and I spotted an otter on one of these pieces of ice back at the end of February 2010
Almost as bright as midwinter
It looks as though it will be cloudy tomorrow night, so here’s a few pictures of the almost full moon. Itwas almost as bright as midwinter here at 6pm tonight as the almost full moon shone on the fjord!
More “northern” lights
Some more pretty lights seen from the garden yesterday…
The moon had on some make-up last night, preparing for the super blue blood moon in two days time!
When I saw this light on the fjord, I thought that somebody was being beamed down to earth and would be in for a wet surprise…
…there were two of them…
Moonset and first sunrise dance
It’s BACK and it will soon be spring again…
The moon set and the sun rose in more or less the same position on the southern horizon this morning within a couple of hours…
Moonset and rise in only 7-8 hours
It was interesting to see that the moon set at about 10am this morning in the north west just before I left for the office in town, and just before I got home I notice an orange glow behind Forbordsfjellet at just after 17:30. The moon is therefore in the sky for about 16 hours at the moment! This mirrors the sun in summer which also sets and rises in similar positions and this is actually for the same reason!
We have more MOONSHINE in the north!!
Once in a Blue moon
The first full moon of the year was tonight and it briefy made an appearance from behind the clouds…the next is also in January, on the 31st and is called a blue moon, no doubt as two ful moons in the same month happens once in a “blue moon”
More moons and views; 30th December 2017
Dancing moonlit waves
Fun to watch these moonlit waves dancing on the shoreline below the house!
Heart Moonbow and Reflection
My daughter is coming over to stay this evening and when I came home I saw a light in the loft bedroom and thought she must have arrived and then realised it was a moon reflection :)
…and a moonheartbow (heart shaped moonbow) :)
