Orange moon
As I was driving home on Sunday evening, I wondered about the moon. I couldn't see it. About 10 minutes later, I noticed it rising above the horizon. And, it was very orange. As soon as I got home, I grabbed my tripod and camera. And, shot this:

It wasn't as dark as that. And, neither was the sky. But, that was the best I could do with such short notice. About a minute later, power lines were in the way. And, once I found a spot where the lines weren't in the way, the moon had risen enough that it was clear of whatever it was in the atmosphere that was turning it orange. Oh well.
