It was a calm warm August night.

Just the right amount of cloud cover gave the moon a bright orange glow.

A sailboat was heading for the dock. I snapped a photo just when it intersected the shaft of moonlight.

Grand Marais Waterfront

Right after photographing the moon we turned around to see the lights of the Grand Marais waterfront reflecting across the harbor with the Pincushion Mountains in the background. It was my favorite photo of the evening.
