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. Granny, Granddad and Aunt Dean

time at the beach.
My Grandfather was an avid
fisherman.
He did a lot of fishing
in this area. Click on Aunt Dean to see the days

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

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

checked them out. The moonbow panorama on
the
About
the Moonbow
page was her idea.
