Another attempt was made last week to catch the moon rising over this landscape. All set up and ready to go at least half an hour early. As the sun set lower, and it approached the time when the moon should have been coming up - about 5:15 local time - the clouds seemed to get denser, even though they were not really moving. Six o'clock came and went, the sun set, the surrounding landscape got darker and darker. The moon never came up. Damn. I knew it was out there, somewhere, but where? By 6:30 I decided to bag it and abandon any hope of seeing a rising moon. Once I got home and looked out again about 7:30 or 8, I could see the mostly full moon shining through the clouds.
Perhaps later this month I'll have better luck with the weather: March 29 @ 6:30 pm local time I'll be out there again with my Linhof attached to the tripod. Anybody wants to stop by and say hello, by all means do so.

Anyway the experience of a place at such an hour is profound. Hope you've enjoyed it (it seems so from the picture). I like it.
You're right, Mauro. My intended plan was thwarted, but it was a beautiful evening. I've got to remember to keep that in mind upon such occasions.
Ha ha ha that's the reason to make plans in photography. To have em thwarted :)
