Aruba 2008

In April 2008, we had a chance to visit the island of Aruba... Many people visit Aruba to enjoy the outstanding weather, the beautiful ocean, and the many amenities of the resorts. And yes, we did that as well ;-) But we also took the opportunity to travel around the whole island and attempted to capture its enormous beauty in the images contained in these images. Since 2008, we have been back to Aruba several times and the Island remains one of our favorite places to visit.

The Moon

The Long Night Moon is the last full moon before the winter solstice. On December 12, 2008, the long night moon was the biggest full moon in 15 years, about 14 percent bigger in the sky and 30 percent brighter than other full moons. The moon became full just four hours after perigee, the closest point in the moon’s orbit around Earth. The next time this will occur is November 14, 2016.
