This year “supermoon” was yesterday. A supermoon is when the moon orbit bring it closer to the Earth and appears larger (especially when it’s full moon and at moon rise). In San Francisco, any summer full moon is challenging situation to photograph. The summer fog can play troublemaker and block any moon rise. My plan was to have the moon sitting on top of the Coit Tower (that was the plan).

In january, I travelled to Myanmar (also known as Burma) for a 12 days trip. Myanmar is a controversial country and while travel is extremely safe and pleasant, the country image still suffers from the bad reputation. But Burma is the crown jewel of Southeast asia country. It’s the second largest country by landmass in Southeast Asia and one of the least visited. In 2013, a little over 2 millions tourists went to Myanmar, compared that to 26 millions that went to Thailand. The Myanmar government is trying to encourage tourism and the number of tourist are increasing drastically. The year before, in 2012, only one million tourists went to Myanmar. Knowing this, I was very interested in visiting Myanmar sooner than later.
I’m going to structure my view not by day but by location. Our first location is Yangoon, the capital city of Myanmar. It’s probably there you will arrive. The first thing you will visit is the Shwedagon Pagoda in the heart of Yangoon.

The full moon this month was going to rise right above Alcatraz and then set above the south tower of the Golden Gate bridge. It meant waking up before 5am to catch the moon setting and then later that day going back to San Francisco to photograph the moon rising above Alcatraz around sunset time.
