My Grandmother This started out, in September of 2002, as a video for my Grandmother, who had lived all of her life in and around the city of Corbin 18 miles away and never seeing a moonbow. She was busy raising their 8 kids and other children, and the two youngest on her own. I have lived in Corbin for nearly 30 years and also, never saw a moonbow. It's a shame to have something so unique, so close. Sometimes we take things that are close to us for granted and assume they will always be there.

First Moonbow Photo Attempt These two photos are part of my first attempt of the moonbow. I guessed the time. I didn't bring a watch. I think the first one is a 400 Mississippi. {Scroll /Click on the moonbow picture below} These photos were taken on December 19, 2002 at 10:30 PM a day after the full moon. I took a lot of photos from the lower level, but they were out of focus. Tonight's lesson: Read the camera manual, learn/play/practice with the camera settings and bring a watch. A hat and flashlight are helpful, too.
I posted the photographs after my Cumberland Falls Moonbow
