Sunset, moonrise, Damascus Church

Posted on November 17, 2011 by Staff

A Thousand Words
By Jock Lauterer

Whenever I begin suffering from “nature deficit disorder,” I have only to slow down, ease off the gas pedal and observe. We live in a place of extraordinary beauty, if only we will seek it out. If you watch carefully, several times each year you’ll catch the moon rising just as the sun is setting. I’ve been stalking this “decisive moment” at the lovely old Damascus Church just west of Carrboro, and was rewarded last week. For this photographer, that light is fleeting, perishable, fragile – and entirely mysterious.
