LAGUNA BEACH, CA — For a few ephemeral moments out of every day, the moon hangs high in the sky while the sun rises in the east in Laguna Beach.

Laguna Beach resident Wendy Theders was enjoying a peaceful walk out on the coast the morning of Tuesday, March 7 when she captured these beautiful photos.

“Tuesday morning just before sunrise a beautiful full moon was hanging out amongst the clouds,” Wendy told Patch. “Ocean conditions were calm and a soft glow of moonlight lit the water.”
