It gets dark early around here this time of year. Coming home in pitch-dark at 7:30, the street-lighted road ahead of me continued on across the channel, painted in place by the full moon.

| I went home for the other camera. 7:43. The moon is now too high to capture both road and moon at once from this hill. |
I drove south, trying to escape streetlights and spill lights from the houses and hotels along the waterfront. The first dark spot was at Oyster Bay: 8:30 PM; by now the moon was high above, the glow on the water fading.

| Looking south, over Oyster Bay. The car tail-lights never stopped. |
 |
| Three stars. The night was clear and just above freezing. |
 |
| The moon shining through trees. And taillights, of course. |
 |
| Looking back, northwest towards Stories Beach. Quadra Island in the distance on the right. |

| Two photo sites marked. Google maps. |

I'm having to moderate all comments because Blogger seems to have a problem notifying me. Sorry about that. I will review them several times daily, though, until this issue is fixed.
Also, I have word verification on, because I found out that not only do I get spam without it, but it gets passed on to anyone commenting in that thread. Not cool!
