January 1 – Full Moon behind Split Rock

For the past 25 years, I have been trekking up the North Shore of Lake Superior to photograph the January full moon rising behind the rock cliffs, silhouetting the lighthouse. There are only a few winter nights when this can happen, and it’s a notable night that photographers in the northland wait for.

As you stand there and watch this phenomenon, you cannot help but appreciate the universe as it rotates through days, months, seasons, and years. The clockwork of the universe keeps ticking.

Our heavenly Father not only created the heavens, but He also sustains them for His joy and our pleasure.

Everything He does reveals His glory and majesty. His righteousness never fails. – Psa 111:3

Look up into the clear, starry winter night, and it will make you feel small and our God very big.
