High Point monument at night

I took the following photo during a Moonrise Hike at High Point State Park in Sussex, N.J. The monument marks the highest spot in New Jersey.



I carried my tripod as we hiked along the Appalachian Trail to get to an observation post with a good view of the eastern horizon. The moon was hard to see at first because of clouds. I did get this photo, but it's hard to see much besides the moon.



The park also has its own blog: http://www.highpointpark.blogspot.com/


The monument makes a great foreground element to include in photos of the sky. I'm going to try to get back there a few times over the summer.
