There were HUNDREDS of people out on the beach last night for the 'moon rise'. Here are some photos.

It was a perfect summer evening and I found myself out on the beach among so many others. I was out for a run but found that I couldn't stop looking at that amazing moon!

I never saw so many people taking selfies with the moon (which is officially a full moon tonight.)

You know how much I love a good sunrise or sunset, but this moon could give any sun event a run for its money.

Of course, with just my phone camera, it looks smaller in these photos than it did in person. I'm sure with a real, professional camera it would have been stunning to capture that image!
