Missed that Moonglow
Last year I spent some time on the Cumberland River in Kentucky. This is a painting I did of the falls. When I was there, everyone kept talking about the "moonglow." Apparently, when the moon is full the falls reflect the light and the water turns very fluorescent and cool-looking. To see this event you must hike up to the falls at approx. 1:00 am. I drank the cool-aid and trekked up to be one of the chosen few to witness the moon glowing in the falls. It never happened. I've tried 2 separate times during a full moon to see the glow...and I have to say, it might just be one of those legends...or maybe you have to be under the influence to experience it. Anyway, I feel totally cheated, but I got some nice shots of the falls and ended up with a composite picture from 4 separate pictures. They were taken at sunrise- since I was awake and still frustrated about being "glowless."
