Moonrise Video

A moonrise video from Mark Gee which manages to be much more than a record of a rocky sphere lifting up from a distant mountaintop. There is something miraculous about seeing the moon rise in person, in a quiet natural setting, something that can't be duplicated by pixels on a screen, but this providential recording has a magic all its own. Click the picture to play. (And see also the Peter Mulvey video, a few postings up.)

"Once, we walked the surface of this planet and gazed in wonder
at our nearest neighbor rising in the night sky."
