This took a one kilometer walk towards the left of the signal hill, in order to get the rising moon behind the signal towers on top of the mountain.
I see a good moon rising as a wordplay on the song Bad moon Rising, by the band Creedence Clearwater Revival.
The only bad thing about this is that I had a very long walk to get in the right place with a bone on bone left knee. If that's not bad enough, then try cramps in the calf of the right leg. But fortunately, I am used to pain and it didn't stop me from achieving my target. I spent two years with my left leg in plaster after a bad motorbike accident in the 80s and now, so many years later it's taking its revenge on my body.
But I digress on this important day, as I watched the moon yesterday and knew exactly where I would get it today.
Such a pity that it's not a full moon, as we will be clouded over when the full moon arrives.
Here below are some landscape shots that I took while waiting for the moon to get into the right place for the signal tower shots.
I parked the car, so that we could watch the mountain for the moonrise, and I was in the car on the phone with my daughter in the UK when the moon started to show itself. So, I left my wife to conclude the conversation, as I hurried on my way to get the moon on the towers.
See how the moon climbs the mountain in the photos below. Only joking, as I was walking towards the left-hand side of the mountain.
And this was when I had to make speed, as that was one fast rising moon, so I had to hobble along to get into the right position.

For the moon to rise into the exact spot took a bit of a wait, but patience always delivers the rewards. Not one day is the same here, as there is always something going on and I just take each day as it comes.
Always in hope, as hope is my real strength and it has always carried me through, especially in the dark moments when I am in real trouble. We often forget the saying that tomorrow the sun will shine again, as the bad experiences that we all have, are only temporary as all things will pass.
Such is life.
I hope you have enjoyed the story and the pictures.

Thank you kindly for supporting this post.
Hope you get some relief from the pain in your knee (and any other aches of course).. I know first hand how painful in can get from my running days. Fantastic pics, though my friend - Incredible!
A knee replacement is way too expensive for us, so I simply bite the bullet.
Thank you for the compliment and your appreciation of the pics. !LOLZ
I pray that you get relief. I know all too well, with regards to medical expenses. I'm dodging a required dentist visit for the same reason.. hopefully I'll get there in due course. I'm certainly not a medical expert by any stretch of the imagination, but I wonder if some kind of bone/cartilage supplement may possibly help somehow? Maybe worth asking a doc? Keep well my dear friend - look after yourself.
Thank you and you are right, as medical expenses can bankrupt one these days. I hope that you will get the dentist issue sorted out and it cannot be much fun.
I have had several inventions over the years, arthroscopy and such, but there is nothing more that they can do, Except the advice to get a knee replacement.
You also keep well my friend.

Wow - awesome shots, my friend, they are all awesome 👏
The third photo is my absolute favourite. Although the moon isn't full, it looks so cool - great timing 👍
The other photos look as if an enormous ball would be rolling the mountain.
!invest_vote
Thank you so much my friend. I also like the third photo and I was going to use it as the first photo, but then it would be too big for the tag photo.
!LOLZ imagine a ball rolling up the mountain and not down the mountain 😮
Btw. This new Supermoon will be the closer to earth than normal and a bonus is that one can also see Saturn near the moon.
So you see why I am crying about the cloud here tomorrow night. Maybe you can get your Telephoto lens out and get some shots of the moon tomorrow night 😉
Cheers and thanks.
The third has something special on it in my eyes - you're very welcome, my friend 😊
There was no way to see the Super Moon nor anything else in the sky because of the rain clouds. There will be another Super Moon and then the sky will be clear 😀 !LOLZ
Have a !PIZZA from me, served with !LUV

Thank you and I thought the same in my eyes 😊
Oh I forget, you also have rain clouds and it's a pity as this moon will be the closest to earth of all the supermoons. Just our luck as we are still having heavy rains here tonight. Someone can make sure that we don't see the supermoon 😉 !LOLZ
Cheers and thanks.
Here we have best weather again, but I will go earlier to bed than usual, because we want to get up at about 3:30am and meet with our friends an hour later. Driving to our destination will take 6-7 hours.
Hope you'll have a great weekend my friend ☺️ 🌞

Great, so the weather will be good for travel. We also leave very early when we go on long trips.
So you are going on this one with some friends. Good company.
6-7 hours is quite a long trip and please take care.
I hope that you will enjoy the break Hannes.
Cheers and thanks.
The weather is almost too good, at least for photography, but not for sunbathing on the beach, which I hate 😂 !LOLZ
But last evening there were some clouds ... unfortunately I have had only my phone with me ...
Wishing you two guys a wonderful week 🌞

Love the song and the captures, not too good hearing your leg is playing up again!
All in the timing, you got it spot one.
!BEER
Maybe one day I will have enough to pay for a knee replacement my friend. Thank you for the care.
Yeah, we were in a good period during the time of CCR.
Always all in the timing. Right place and right time.
15 minutes to power cut and the sky clouded the moon over for the night. I will also not get it tomorrow night and it's the closest to earth of the Super moons, with Saturn in tow.
!BEER
Captured last night without a cloud in sight, delightful!
Great and good news for you. I also got a few shots now in a cloud break.
Woke up this morning clouds from end to end, timed it well for moon shots getting one before retiring to bed after midnight !LOLZ
Great to know and when will you post the moon shots?
We are now 8 minutes into a power cut and I am pushing my luck.

Yeah, rare to have two full moons in the same month. And Tomorrow night's moon will be the closest to earth of the Supermoons with Saturn also visible close to the moon.
We are now clouded over and it will rain until next week, so I can't get the moon, but maybe you can my friend.
