Only Rudi and Michelle know how much I obsess about the full moon, especially when it comes to the lunar calendar August 15th, which is the Chinese Moon Festival.
Well, today is the day. So, we went to Navy Pier
to find the full moon. If nothing else, it was purely for sentimental
reasons!! When Michelle was little, we always took her to Navy Pier on
Chinese Moon Festival to see the big, orange-red moon jumping out of Lake Michigan.
We would count every minute when the moon creeps out and then go up to
the Ferris Wheel to eat moon-cake and watch the lake being
colored into silver...
Believe
it or not, today was one of the very few days (if not the only day) in
recent years when the weather was perfect. The moon did rise up from
the lake. However, some rich people were getting married at Navy Pier,
so they occupied the entire back end of the Pier. When the moon came
out of the water, I was not able to photograph it because of the angle I
was limited to...
Anyways, enjoy what poor people can capture, and happy Chinese Moon Festival!!
