This small crowd became a big one as the sky gradually darkened at Fernwood Pier last evening.
And this is the ‘blood moon’ they came to see:

East Point Moonrise
8 pm East Point, Saturna Island
A late summer trip to Saturna, so close but (by ferry) so far.
After the sun set, there were a few magical moments in the eastern sky; the clouds lit up and were reflected in the blue water. A ‘supermoon’ provided amazing ambiance. And a warm light breeze began to pattern the still ocean surface.
Spectacular really. And then we turned to look at the western sky…but that’s tomorrow’s photo of the day.

By 9:10 pm darkness was setting in and more detail was visible:
