"Moon Beams 2". Moon rise over the sea at Palm Cove, in Australia. I light painted the waves with a flashlight/torch. The pointy island was called Haycock Island (old English for hay stack) by Captain Cook, but most locals now call it Scout Hat Island. To the left is part of Double Island. I am not sure why there is so much light from the moon, including rays which look more like the sun (hence the name "Moon Beams"), but it was very humid and perhaps there were a lot of water droplets in the air to give this effect.

"Moon Beams 1". Moon rise at Palm Cove beach, Australia. The pointy island was named Haycock Island by Captain Cook (old English for hay stack), but today most locals call it Scout Hat island. To the left is part of Double Island. I am not sure why the moon looks almost like the sun, complete with rays (hence the title "Moon Beams"), but it was very humid and perhaps a lot of water droplets in the air caused this effect.
