Vancouver Super Moon Heron

Vancouver, BC

Just as Carol How, David Ingram and I were packing up after photographing the beautiful Vancouver
sky line, a heron silently swooped down in front of us to do some night fishing. I positioned
the camera to catch the heron's silhouette in the Super Moon reflection on Vancouver Harbor.
My thanks to Carol and David for pointing this out to me -- herons fly so silently that I hadn't noticed.

Seems like many of the best opportunties occur after the camera is put away. Glad you were able to capture this fine moment so well!

Wow, that's being in the right place at the right time and being ready...with a little help from your friends, as The Beatles would say. Fabulous! V
