I couldn’t resist taking this photograph yesterday evening when I saw the beautiful sunset at around 5pm. I rushed outside with the camera and found the added bonus of the rising moon, which was almost full (full moon is actually today).

The full moon rises at the same time (thereabouts) as the setting sun (since the moon is directly on the opposite side of the Earth to the sun at that time), and it can make for some amazing images.

The delicate colors of the clouds and the last tinge of orange on the trees, together with the glow of the rising moon, made this the perfect end to the day – so I thought I would share it with you.
