"Snow Moon"-rise Over the Catalina Foothills

Tucson, AZ

*** Best view at original size ***

Although it is not readily apparent, there is a penumbral eclipse in progress (the faint darkening on the left side of the Moon here).

This image is also really beautiful as well as cool! I love the soft sweeping horizon line with the huge moon sitting on the edge. Wonderful timing and being at the right place at the right time! A truly fine piece of art you should be proud of!

Magnificent, Sam. And threatening in a science fiction way.
