Like A Dime

Shiny as a new dime, the full moon glowed above the Sentinel this evening, but there was no one to be seen there at the Viewpoint. Maybe if I'd waited a little longer. I once took slides of the full moon. I can tell you that to get a good slide of the moon isn't altogether easy. You have to do a lot of bracketing. I got one slide that was perfect. There was a tremendous amount of detail in the image, and the positioning of the moon within the rectangle was just right. But when I took it to the photo lab, the guy at the counter put his thumb on the emulsion, and that was the end of it. That was a decade ago.
