Description

Last weekend we all had the opportunity of witnessing our moon at it's perigee, or closest approach to earth in many years! As I didn't have my SLR camera available on the night of the full moon I took the opportunity of capturing it one night later when it had started to wane! This was a little after it had started rising.

Fantastic capture of the super moon here Phil. Unfortunately it was cloudy in our part of the world but did see it a few days later although obviously not as spectacular. #10134510

What a gorgeous capture, Phil! Doesn't look a bit less impressive than it was the night before. We were lucky in California ~ clear sky, super moon. #10135310
