Setting Moon at Lake Yosemite

Hikin' Mike

Wanted to photograph a local icon with the moon, so I drove into Merced and shot the "famous" tower. One frame I had a flock of Geese, so that was a plus!

Very cool shot, Mike! Although I'd be sorely tempted to move up that row of geese so it passes though the moon.

@kdog - Tempting, but not something that I would do.

@christina - I used The Photographers Ephemeris program (desktop version) to accurately show sun/moon times and locations.

Thanks for looking!
