Full Moon


The full moon lights up the night sky. Click on the photo to enlarge for best viewing.

Would these be noctulucent clouds, perhaps?

I sat on my front strps to get this. Elbows braced on my knees, holding my breath. I could have run for the tripod, but by the time I set that up this moment would have passed.

Wonderful shot. It's amazing how clear it came even without tripod! A masterpiece, indeed.

Count Dracula could be just around the corner waiting to pounce on unprotected flesh.

The clouds almost look like white water tumbling over rocks.
