Super Moon!

For those of you who didn't look outside your windows this past weekend: there was a supermoon. Otherwise known as a full moon that is much closer to the earth then usual.

The other students and myself came to the conclusion that the best place to view the supermoon was Trinity Park Beach. And it was incredible. Pictures and words do not capture what it was to see that beautiful orb emerging over the horizon and turning the blue/black world silver.

The tide was higher then we had ever seen it and the crashing waves were gilded with light. Swimming, fire dancing, and even some peaceful contemplation ensued.

As I said pictures seemed superflious so I didn't take any, but for some cool shots and more info on what causes a super moon visit this link: http://www.nasa.gov/topics/solarsystem/features/supermoon_2012.html
