Last night’s Nearly Full (98.3%) Buck Moon rising behind Whaleback Lighthouse in Kittery, Maine — photographed from the shore in New Castle, NH. A thin band of haze on the horizon gave the moon a deep red glow for just a few moments as it lined up perfectly with the lighthouse beacon.
In the foreground is Buoy 2KR, a red navigation buoy marking the entrance to the Piscataqua River channel. Known for its distinctive “groaner” sound and its position in one of the fastest tidal currents on the East Coast, 2KR is a familiar landmark to local mariners — and last night, it was perfectly aligned with the moon’s reflection. One of those rare moments where everything just clicked.
