2/365 - Orange Moon

An orange moon rising, wavy, over farm buildings.
Click the photo to see it on Flickr.

My second photo comes after a full day of traveling and seeing old friends. As Sarah and I pulled in to the driveway this evening, this orange moon was rising from the horizon, with farm buildings in the foreground. It was just as wavy and orange as it looks in this photo (probably from atmospheric distortion). This is a composite, since it's all but impossible to take a clear photo of both the moon, and the (dim) countryside together.

In the meta-365 realm, I did take my camera with me today -- but I left it in my car, after we went with our friends to see some sights. That's kind of contrary to the whole idea -- bringing my camera with me everywhere. Lessons learned...

That's an awesome shot, David. Be careful about leaving your camera in your car though. I had some things stolen way back i college...I never leave anything in there anymore.

Thanks! It's true, carrying around a big camera brings new problems with it. I like to think that I live in an exceptionally safe area, but you never know...
