Strawberry Moon over Mount Baker, BC, Canada
Mount Baker (located in Washington State, USA) and the Strawberry Moon seen from my backyard near Vancouver, BC, Canada.
About this photo: First of all this is a combination of 2 photos, one of Mount Baker at sunset and one of the moon taken on the same evening. Let me explain: It was cloudy in the morning, but as the day went on it was getting nicer and sunnier. I had figured out that the moon would rise from behind Mount Baker to the right and it would be about an before sunset...so it should be pretty nice. Thankfully I can see Mount Baker from my backyard and didn't have to go anywhere. I was waiting and waiting and waiting for the moon the show up, but I started doubting if I got the right time, right place, etc... Mount Baker was basking in the last light of the sun, so I took some photos of Mount Baker while waiting for the moon.
About 45 minutes later I noticed the moon was already quite a bit higher in the sky emerging from a layer of thin clouds. That’s when I took the shot of the moon. There must have been a layer of clouds near the horizon which prevented me from seeing the moon rise from behind the mountain. I added my moon into the photo (and made it a little larger) as this is how I would have imagine it would look like, does that count??? Anyway, I hope you enjoy this photo anyway!? I took both photos from our place near Vancouver, BC, Canada.

Some information on Mount Baker: Mount Baker has a height of 10,781ft (3286m) and is an active glaciated stratovolcano in the Cascade Volcanic Arc and the North Cascades of Washington in the United States. Mount Baker has the second-most thermally active crater in the Cascade Range after Mount Saint Helens.
Some information on New Westminster: New Westminster is a city that belongs to the Greater Vancouver area. New Westminster is located about 20 minutes from downtown Vancouver along the Fraser River. This beautiful city is also called "The Royal City". The city also reminds people of San Francisco, especially because of the steep hills in town. So be prepared for those hills!
New Westminster was founded by the Royal Engineers under the command of Colonel Richard Clement Moody, and named by Queen Victoria after her favourite neighbourhood in London, Westminster. It is also the oldest city in western Canada and it was the capital of British Columbia between 1858 and 1866.
Located right in the middle of the Greater Vancouver network today, New Westminster is a charming mix of old and new, with a picturesque waterfront and fabulous Victorian architecture. It's a vibrant and progressive city with a community rich in tradition and respect for its heritage.
Come and visit this beautiful city when you are in Vancouver and find out for yourself how charming this city is. There are many things to see and to visit in New Westminster such as: New Westminster Museum and Archives, Irving House, the Samson V Paddle Wheeler, New Westminster Quay Public Market, the Antique Alley, Queen's Park, the 7-11 cycling Trail and much more.
