Summer moon

This week's full moon, captured over Floyd County with a Canon EOS-1Ds Mark III digital SLR and a 400mm f/2.8 telephoto lens.

Wow!

Doug, what a wonderful photo. Thank you for sharing it!

I just checked the naval observatory calendar -- I remembered a glorious full moon on my 4th or 5th birthday -- and it was true. 11 July 1968 had a full moon and I remember watching the moon rise over the mountains and fields -- and it looked large, much like this photo does.

Thank you for triggering a wonderful memory, too!

I'm drawn to the spot on the bottom that makes it look like a space fruit.

Excellent

What an awesome picture! I, too, think it looks like a big orange in the sky! Great detail. Thanks for sharing! I miss my night sky of Floyd! Too many lights in Chattanooga.
