Once in a lifetime: A strawberry moon

Summer solice meets full moon:

 

A strawberry moon is rare, usually once in a lifetime. This occurs when the summer solice meets a full moon. The moon was almost completely full at 7:02 pm EST last night. By the time these photos were taken at 8:30 pm EST, the moon came bursting up from behind the mountains so quickly it was difficult to focus the camera. The moon sits low in the sky and with the high humidity and a few light clouds, it gives off an amber color. .

 

This amature photography did not possess the equipment nor the talent to capture this breathtaking scene.
