The full moon watches Old Faithful erupt!

While shopping in town one day a lady mentioned that if we want to see something really cool, we should go out to Old Faithful the night of the full moon and see the eruption by moonlight.  So, we did!  Full moon was on June 23rd and it rose about 9:25pm.   Of course, it wasn’t even dark yet at that time!

By the time the moon rose enough and it got dark enough for the pictures to come out good, we had to wait for the eruption predicted to be at 11pm!  But, we had fun watching the stars come out and sitting in the quiet darkness quite a ways away from the lodges and other people so we would get good shots of the moon right behind the eruption.

Here are the pictures we took:
