Perigee is the closest point to the earth and it is in this stage that the moon appears larger. Here the moon can be seen near Calavera Lake. The 513-ft. Mount Calavera is not really a mountain at all but rather a 22 million-year-old volcanic plug. A volcanic plug is a mass of volcanic rock that solidified in it's vent and feeding system millions of years ago. When the volcano becomes extinct and starts to erode away, the "plug" is all that is left behind.
Exif: F Number: 7.1, ExposureTime: 25/10 seconds, ISO: 1600, FocalLength: 17.00 mm, Model: Canon EOS 7D
