The moon was actually full on Sunday morning, but clouds prevented us from seeing it. But on Monday we had some breaks in the clouds as the just-past-full moon set in the west. I scrambled to get the camera set up (tripod, long lens, memory card) at the window for some photos.

This is the best of the bunch. I like how the sky came in deep blue. The sun was not quite up yet. The official sunrise was at 08h25, fifteen minutes after I took the picture.
Compare it to
this shot I took one month ago.
I prefer the previous moonset... but this is good too. I also snapped yesterday's moon... much to the annoyance of the cats who thought that I should have been feeding them first...
ReplyDeletethrows back her head and howls (werewolf style)!
ReplyDeleteBoth shots are beautiful!
ReplyDeleteOooh, both lovely!
ReplyDeleteWe had a lovely view of the full moon....as usual.
ReplyDeleteOur full moon was beautiful over here too, but with my point and shoot Olympus, I'd never capture a shot like that in a million years.
ReplyDeleteNice photos Walt...I think I saw the man in the moon.
Ah, glorious!!!
