A halo around a waning gibbous moon illuminates the clubhouse of the Seattle Yacht Club on Portage Bay. The halo is created by the refraction of moonlight from ice crystals in the upper atmosphere. The club was originally started in 1892 at Duwamish Head, the northern most part of West Seattle. It relocated to the present site on Portage Bay in 1920. The clubhouse is listed on the National Register of Historic Places.
The Ship Canal Bridge of Interstate 5 can be seen from the edge of the Montlake Cut near the Seattle Yacht Club, looking West across Portage Bay.
Nice shot, Doug! I love the color you captured in the reflection.
