African Hut Part 4
Pictures taken June 8
Intrigued by the way the Moon rose over the shoulder of the hut, I resolved to go each night and photograph the Moon's progress. This was the second night, June 8. Full Moon was due on 11th. Spirit orbs (2) can clearly be seen in the sky on the right of the picture.
There was a marvellous sunset going on so I turned to face west, putting the hut on my left (door of hut faces north, back of hut to the south). This peculiar disc appeared on the photo, reminds me of an ancient coin - Anglo Saxon I would say, looks like the head of a king with a primitively drawn crown.

Although I returned the following night, the Moon never rose above the hut at all - it slid along behind the houses. The same thing the next night. This could be due to the Northern Lunar Standstill effect - see Victor Reijs. Eighteen years ago I was initiating my friend on Cowling Moor. We were at the Hitching Stone, it was full moon, we were up all night and saw the strange phenomenon of the Moon rolling along the horizon of the moor all night. This was probably the last lunar standstill.
