The moonlight this past weekend was extraordinary thanks to the moon being at perigee, which is its closest position to Earth in its 27.3 day cycle between perigee and apogee (the point at which it is furthest from Earth). The full moon occurred at roughly the same time as perigee, making for what has become known as a "supermoon". I don't know about all that, but I do know that it sure made for some incredibly bright moonlight over the weekend! And, combined with this really cool cloud cover just after sunset, made for a pretty spectacular photo as well. I made this image with my Tamron 150-600 telephoto lens from our front yard.
