The Highest Place by John D

I'm at Marconi Beach down cape cod. Looking out over the edge of the observatory to the cliffs. Can't really tell from here but its about 200ft (my guess) to the beach. This is the highest point around. the sunset and moon rising are really nice.

Looking out over the edge of the observatory to the cliffs. Can't really tell from here but its about 200ft (my guess) to the beach. Past that grass is a huge cliff face. This is the highest point around.
Moonrise
Out over the Atlantic.
Sunset
The sun set and the moon rose at the same time; the moon over the Atlantic and the sun over land.
I somehow approve of editing praxis while it happens.
