Setting moon

Today we got up before the moon had set - so what a great opportunity to have photographed the full-moon last night and then captured it as it set this morning. Why rise in the darkness I hear you ask - answer so Fiona could go to circuit class at the local gym.

The photos are grainy of course as I had the iPhone's 'zoom lens' wound up to the max - though I think it does soften and distort the image in a good way.

The Moonset gave way to a soft quiet awakening of the dawn in the cloud filled valley below our house.

  5. LT, S, TL and V - thanks for sharing the moonset and dawn across our valley. Whilst the iPhone camera has many limitations I am enjoying how those limitations can in fact be arty. SS like you I think the last photo has a mystery and antiquity about it. Go well. B
