The Road Less Taken

This path appears to ascend heavenward. Next time I will take it and see where I end up.

Howling at the Moon

Last Friday's full moon was the biggest and brightest full moon of the year. It was also known as the wolf moon since it was the first full moon of the year. As a bonus in the first picture, Mars was just to the left of the moon; look for the reddish, star-like object. According to Spaceweather.com this full moon was about 14 percent wider and 30 percent brighter than the full Moons of the previous year.

The brightness of this moon made shooting directly at it very difficult and it turns out looking like the sun in the photograph. in order to catch the detail of the full moon, had to narrow the aperture and decrease the shutter speed, which made everything else in the photo (including Mars) black.
