Celestial Machinations
As I mentioned in the previous post, I spent Friday and Saturday nights with my youngest brother. He and his wife have a lake cottage on Lake Hartwell, northeast of Atlanta, near where Deliverance was filmed. We had a relaxing dinner there Friday night, and, since it was warm there and a full moon was due, they took me for a cruise on the lake.
Before we boarded their boat, I decided to try the movie feature of my camera to catch what I thought was the moon’s reflection on the water, and to pick up the cacophony of tree frogs for atmosphere. I locked onto the ascendant orb in the sky and set the film to “record”. It was not until I downloaded the snippet to my laptop that I became aware of its initially aggressive, then just plain bewildering behavior, and of the fact that its abrupt disappearance was not due to an itinerant fog bank:
