He Hit It Out Of The Park

By
Services for Real Estate Pros with Ward County Notary Services

The last couple of dusk's and dawns have been fantastic for viewing the Full Moon from Minot ND. We have been able to enjoy it right on the Eastern Horizon at dawn as well as on the Western horizon in the morning. It is so perfectly placed that it  is the first thing I've seen the last two days when I open the bedroom shades.

See it straight above the left corner of Historic Corbett Field's grandstand. Just like God knocked it right outa the ballpark.

As you can see from the top picture the moon seemed a whole lot closer then the one with the ball park. Can any photography professional explain to me why that is?

I found it hard to take a picture of a perfect full moon with the phone.... times like this I wish I still had the super-duper camera:) Endre

Good morning, Bob... I saw that beautiful full moon the other day here in Charlotte... but it never occurred to me to take a picture. Yours is perfect.

Good morning Bob,

I'd say you knocked it out of the park capturing the gorgeous full moon! Well done!!

Good morning Bob. I am jealous. Here in Chicago, with the clouds lately, we are lucky to get a glimpse of the sky! Great photos! Thanks! Enjoy your day.

The moon here in CT was big but not as large as the one you show. Must be too many lights in our area.

I did use my best camera Endre Barath, Jr. but by professional standards it would only be considered a starter camera. Had I used a tripod it would have been better.

Thank you Brian England . I enjoy taking pictures of the moon and it was warm enough that my hands didn't freeze (about 20 degrees Fahrenheit).

I will make a big copy of it Nina Hollander, Broker and you and I can sit under it together and dream of what might have been. 😍

Those clouds must have been brought on by yesterdays football game Wayne Martin . I hope the Vikings don't waste this opportunity. If we get to and win the Superbowl at least Chicago can say it took the best to beat them.

I don't see a lot of stars for that same reason Ed Silva . My home is just about,if not, as centrally located in the city as one could be.

It's been awhile since I've been able to view the moon here in Sacramento.  Too many storms blowing through.
