The Moon Is Bright Tonight!

[zerostao]

the snow here is very bright today

january 21 is the day that the sun is closest to our earth.

for us in the northen hemisphere we may have thought july 21 was that day.

i wonder if the moon will look less bright on that day?

My wife and I caught Moonrise yesterday evening by surprise as we made a turn.

 

Shockingly huge on the horizon partially obscured by some passing clouds.

 

As it made it's ascent it naturally began to loose the golden shades and began to glow brightly,

I mentioned this thread to my wife and she speculated on the cold atmosphere.

 

The image was soon lost due to a blanket of lake effect, however the night was quite bright regardless of the

cloud cover. -22 wind chill to boot, did make for some serene viewing from the windows anyway.
