18th Annual Smithsonian Magazine Photo Contest Natural World
Under The Midnight Moon

This photo was taken in the middle of the Pacific Ocean when I was sailing from Japan to Mexico. One night I was on the top deck and there was a full moon where it looked like the moon was touching the water. As the moon raised higher into the sky the light coming from it was blinding and it was incredibly difficult to see where the moon was. But I managed to get a good photo of the moon hovering above the water.
