Journey: The Moonbow

DSCF5970

When the Old Lady realized that it was the time of the full moon and that she was already in Tennessee, she headed for Kentucky to see the moonbow at Cumberland Falls State Park.DSCF5977

Cumberland Falls is a 68-foot-tall waterfall that produces a lot of mist.  Because of the way the Falls is situated, when there is a full moon it is the only place in this hemisphere where a moonbow can be seen.

A moonbow is like a rainbow, but instead of being formed of sunshine and rain it is formed of moonlight and mist.

The Old Lady did not even try to photograph the phenomenon.   The moonbow is elusive, ephemeral; it can only be photographed with special equipment and great skill.  It demands respect.

But it can be seen.  And the Old Lady saw it!DSCF6009

The next day, the falls offered a brightly beautiful rainbow.DSCF6011

The area also offers rocky, steep hiking trails that are well worth the walking for the many magnificent sights.DSCF5964DSCF5965DSCF5971DSCF5972DSCF5987DSCF5990DSCF5993What a glorious place to appreciate God’s Creation and the wonderful Journey we are allowed to take through it!DSCF5988
