Peeping

the moon

Early evening last night while I was in the kitchen, I peeped through the window and saw the full moon at its biggest and brightest ever. I immediately glanced at the calendar in the kitchen and read it was full moon. I went out of the house with the phone and focused it to the east where the moon was rising. I had to enlarge the image of the moon in my phone so this is what I got. The full moon was peeping through the clouds. A nature - lover that I am, I exhaled a deep sigh and appreciated the beauty to behold. Have you seen the moon at its fullest last night? I did.

you can still see the moon tonight but maybe there will be a shaded part already. the picture is blurred, but it does look bigger if you compare it with the distance of my house below the moon (the lights)

Nice shot, it was similar here, too many clouds to get a really good shot.

I know, it's so odd that usually it is not cloudy here very often yet it was on the night of the full moon @ridingbet

@ridingbet I am sure I can't wake up so early. I will try to change my working schedule in the morning.

That's beautiful! And ours also peeped out of the clouds last night because we had rain and storms throughout the night.

the moon when it appeared in clearer skies, was so big and bright. i could not shoot that time because there are many lights of passing vehicles.

i think that is the last of the supermoon this year, because the next time that the full moon will appear in our night skies will be next year on January.

@DianneN i am always in awe if i see pictures of the full moon, in bright orange color, rising above the tall buildings, and compared to the moon appearing here, your moon there is like as big as a saucer at the background of some silhouetted buildings.
