MOONBOW

So despite having had to work all week with little hiking, I had the most fun I've had ever photographing I think. There's this thing called a moonbow which is basically a rainbow at night during a full moon. The light from the full moon hits the mist from the waterfalls and creates a rainbow right in the middle of the night. It doesn't happen in too many places around the world and Yosemite is one of them. It only happens during three time periods of the year which is during the full moon of April, May, and June and depending on which day surrounding the full moon, the bow happens between 11 pm and 2 am. It was incredible. So while the full moon was out I was out and had a blast taking night photos with long exposures. So that was my Friday and Saturday nights.

Sunday went over very well. We had the most people at our service this Sunday since we started up, about 30 people. I spoke once again, this time I used a little bit of apologetics, talking about the historical evidence for Jesus and the reliability of the New Testament then about the truths of the gospel. Not too sure if the people enjoyed it, but I find it very interesting but I can see how it can be a bit boring for some. After the service, we went hiking to a waterfall whose name and location must remain hidden because it's a secret of the workers in Yosemite, but it was pretty sweet. Afterwards we went to a barbeque at the Pastor's house and hung out with him and his family and neighbors and other people and it was really fun and a nice change from eating Mexican, pizza, and buffet food everyday.

Another 6 day work week this week, so we'll see if I get to do any hiking/photographing, but it seems that I always find a way.

Picture time.
