Hazy Hunter's Moon

Posted by Denny Jump (Bellevue, WA, United States) on 6 October 2017 in Landscape & Rural.

The formal Native American name for October's Full moon is the "Hunter's Moon." Wednesday evening I made this image of the moon rising over the Cascade Mountains of Washington, in a seriously hazy appearance. The combination of haze and multiple clouds provided what almost appeared to be rings around the moon, much like Saturn's rings. A rather strange appearance, indeed.
I hope you enjoy ;-)

- " We do not move forward from a middle opinion, which is undemocratic but mediocratic.
We advance from a creative passion "- (Edgar Morin)

- "To photograph is to hold one's breath, when all faculties converge to capture fleeting reality. It's at
that precise moment that mastering an image becomes a great physical and intellectual joy."
