June’s Strawberry Moon was spectacular in Kitimat. In the moon’s cycle of an elliptical orbit it is its lowest point in the 18.6 years cycle. That meant the moon was low over Douglas Channel making for some great photos. The June 9 photos were taken with my Sony RX10iii, the other morning photos are a mixture of my Sony Alpha 55 and my Galaxy S23.
