Perigee moon rise

These are some pics of the recent full moon which as a "perigee" moon (more about that here). It was a beautiful evening, but a lot colder than I thought it would be!

I went out to Deep Creek Road and Old K18 for these shots. That is a really beautiful drive to see the Flint Hills. The first few shots are from Old K18, if you want to see some great views of the Flint Hills, take Old K18 to Alma and then drive the Skyline Creek Scenic Drive to Alta Vista and then K177 back into Manhattan. Make sure to go early in the morning or in the evening when the light is just right to catch the shadows falling across the hills.

Doesn't get much better than that!

Misty Flint Hills Morning

Here a few shots from a recent foggy, misty morning. I went out to Deep Creek Road to try and get some shots of the fog, but it was gone by the time I got there. The clouds were moving really fast that morning though and it was nice to see how the sun would break though and light up different parts of the hills. Deep Creek Road some really nice views of the Flint Hills.

Enjoy!
