Daytime Moon
Another image composed while I visited my parents last week. The tree is in their front yard.
This image almost appears to be 3-D, with the optical illusion that the moon is closer to the eye than the passing cloud next to it.
Of course, we know the moon is 238,900 miles away from the earth (384,472 km), and the very highest clouds are only 9 miles up... So this cloud is MUCH closer here than the moon, despite the illusion to the contrary :)
