Moonlight over Newgale.

Took a spin to Newgale today, we haven't been for ages, at least not since the pandemic. 

It was wonderful to see the vast stretch of beach. 

Helen and I, and our son Jac spent fifteen years living only two miles from this glorious seafront ( 2001-2016).  

Today, with every footstep we made in the sand, it was a trip down memory lane.

The gibbous Moon was visible over the nearby hill, only the second time we have seen it this lunation, blame the wind and rain!

As the night deepened, I set up the camera phone on a flimsy little £3 tripod I bought a few days ago.

After a bit of trail and error I managed to capture the following. 


Mizar and Alcor (The Horse & Rider)

Amazing that the phone was able to capture Mizar AND Alcor, I didn't expect that.

The view from the camper van of the Moonlight over Newgale will stay with us always.
