The Super Moon, peeked above the South Mountain, then quickly ascended to smile over lovely Annapolis Royal, Nova Scotia. Dazzling pinks and light blues transformed into shades of purple and dark blue as it rose high in the night sky. The moon later shone so brightly that it looked like a giant floodlight illuminating the sparking Annapolis River. Tides were quite high yesterday -- 9.2 meters (over 30 feet), but it was nearer low tide when the moon came up and danced in the night sky.
