A friend and I had dinner at the Malibu Beach Inn last night, ate and drank and watched the sunset light up the windows on Palos Verdes, And then we ate and drank some more.

When I got home the moon was so bright and everything was so quiet, I took a walk with my little Powershot which, even though it has a setting called "manual", is not manual at all, so I set it for what I hoped was a long exposure and held my breath and here it is, a shot of the palm trees on the bluff in the midnight moonlight.
