Red Moon Rising

LPOD-Mar22-11.jpg
image by Elizabeth Warner

I hadn't planned on doing any more SuperMoon photos but more great ones kept coming into my mailbox. Like this one from Elizabeth. I am partial to it because I used to live in Washington, DC and admired the rotunda memorial to Thomas Jefferson. The roundness of the memorial, the curvature of its dome and the accidental nick out of the Moon due to a 12 km distant water tower all reinforce the geometry of the Moon. Here is the story of how the photo was obtained.
