    It is a Perigee, closest the good lo' moon gets to Earth, me thinks.
    Nice shot!

    I'm glad someone caught it! I was looking at how big it was in real life, but this is awesome thumb.gif

    Spectacular. I love the contour of the mountains on the right limb against the sky.

    Nice capture! I was ogling it while driving home from work. It looked awesome just above the horizon while the sky still had some blue in it. But alas...by the time I got home.....clouds. :cry Maybe in 2016.....I should be retired by then. rolleyes1.gif

    Nice
    Saw it last night on coke break at work as it was on horizon. Was
    breath taking. Hope someone grabbed at that level and can share.
