This morning’s moonset, as seen from West Seattle

Hope you were up early (or late) enough to see this morning’s amazing moonset. In case you weren’t – Gatewood photographer Long Bach Nguyen has shared two beautiful photos (thanks!).

La bella luna! It was gorgeous this a.m. and a beautiful orange as it set behind the Oly’s

I actually saw this Live this morning. I’m so glad you were able to capture it on film and share it with all who missed it.

I saw this. My son and I watched it as it set and wished I had a good enough camera to capture it. He will thank you dearly because he’s very interested in the moon!

Dear Long Bach, is there a way to purchase your photo of moon going behind the Olympics? It is beautiful.

I’m sorry but isn’t 11:59 AM just before noon? …not just before midnight, which would be 11:59 PM??? Either way, its a gorgeous pic, especially the reflection on the water!

SS, 11:59 am is when I published this. The moonset was around 7 this morning. I was offline for a few hours or this would have been up earlier; it was sent around midmorning. The time stamp on WSB stories/etc. just indicates when they were published – TR
