This was the beautiful sight to meet my eyes as I left from work tonight. I had my camera with me and decided to share the photos I took on the way to my car with you, together with the information about tonight's moon.

Tomorrow night will be a good time to take advantage of a full moon for all those who enjoy to 'shoot the moon'.
