Every once in a while the weather is right for a full moon rise in the winter here in the California Sierra Nevada Mountains. This is the January "Wolf Moon" rising during an incredible sunset. The snow was like it was on fire.

    All I can say is - WOW!!!

    That is a beautiful shot. The moon does not look like that here in the south. That one would be hanging on my wall.

    Hey Keith that is fantastic.

    When the moon is that low in SF, it's orange, there's so much atmospheric interference; it 's not a bad thing - it's just different

    So......... that secret lens you have; that has a dof of a few thousand miles, where did you get it?

    Shoot in RAW because memory is cheap but memories are priceless.

    Careful walking on the top of that hill! Bet the gravitational pull will suck you right into outer space :D

    Nice job!

    Just short of Silver Lake. It's a pullout near the Bear River Overlook.
