Strawberry Solstice Moon

It rose shrouded in clouds, was clear not even long enough to change your settings if you wanted to, then ascended into another cloud. One of my granddaughters was born on the strawberry moon five years ago - well, not on the actual moon - and I guess this is the only solstice full moon within 100 years (1967 and 2067).

Its great! I wonder if the Mansion on left and white dot on right could be skillfully zapped....if the loneliness adds to it.....cheers!

I'm sure they could be removed but I like the context they provide.
Thanks!

It appears I am in the minority as I prefer the first image, very nice.

Me too, actually, and since the image would have a lot of local viewers who would recognize the location, I usually like keeping things intact - no funny stuff. I like both versions, and even though the second version has kind of a spooky element, and I do like it, it will always be fake to me. I guess that's the old newspaper writer and photographer in me.
