Taken with Olympus E500 digital camera January 21st 2008. Click image for larger view.
The moon is full today so had to take a picture of it rising above a mountain peak here in Northern Norway. I liked the way the moon lightened up the clouds that were skittering across the sky.
But I wish I had a lens with longer reach or a good telescope!
Check out my other moon photos here.

vakker og “eerie” (seems like the moon is just within grasp). Good job!

You are using 1 sec exposure I see. I sometime have tdifficulties on deciding on it. It turns out The info I got about how to choose exposure is not enough. Practice make perfect.
Nice Photo !

Thanks so much for finding me through EntreCard. Your photos are breathtaking. This one especially made me remember one of my favorite Sting songs: There’s a moon over Bourbon Street tonight…
Take care, Lisa

I have a weakness for moon shots and find myself taking quite a few. This one is exceptional!
Thanks for sharing it!

Hello! Very nice picture. The moon seems so close. I believe it is about 230,000 miles from us on average.
