Moon Sheen

This is the moon, not the sun. I don't sit around and watch moonrises very often, but I've never seen anything like this before. It didn't transfer to a photo as well as I would have liked, but the site of the light reflecting off the surface of Lake Powell and casting shadows from Gunsight Butte was truly spectacular. Any PS experts out there with suggestions on how to make this stand up to what I actually saw , feel free.

 

To anyone with a good vehicle and a sense of adventure, I strongly recommend getting to Alstrom Point for a full moon rise. I've done it a couple of times and it is one of the most amazing sites I've ever seen.
