I Was Once

November 1, 2020 by Greg Molyneux

moon rise over Parkertown Cove at Parkertown Docks at blue hour. This was October 2020's second full moon making it a blue moon.

I Was Once — 100mm | f/8 | ISO 100 | EXP 3.2 sec

I was once new
Unseen and strong the becoming

I was once waxing
Energetically growing keen to know

I was once full
Brightly shining radiant life

And now I wane
Aged and worn fated to winter

Coda

Upon the last minute recommendation of Jonathan Carr we made our way to a new location to make photographs: Parkertown Docks. This splendid location tucked away along Parker Cove offers 360 degree views featuring salt marsh, bay, bay beach, Atlantic City, and some old pilings. Tons of opportunity here, and no doubt a new go-to spot to watch thunderstorms roll in. Crazy to think this gem has been hiding in plain sight unbeknownst to me in my 27 years living in the area. It’s always a win to shed a bit more ignorance in the face of new discovery.

It wasn’t intentional (sunset was the goal) but we hung around through blue hour for the full moon rise. It so happened to be the second full moon of October, making this a blue hour blue moon rise.
