Had to capture this moment when the moon was in such a great position.
The mountain you see is called “KrÃ¥ketindan”, Peaks of the Crow in English, and is about 800 meters above sea level.
Soon I will venture up there to take some mountain pictures. Still a bit too much snow to trek safely.

Here is a picture of phenomenon that I have not seen often. The moon was a thin crescent and Earth reflected light on the moon. It’s called planetshine and Earthshine when the earth lights the moon.
You can also see Venus below the Moon.
