Moonrise

I took this shot off of my rooftop patio a few weeks ago. It was amazing, the moon had just cleared the horizon when I went out. When I came back in about half an hour later it was already high in the sky and not nearly as orange looking.

Visit Skywatch Friday for hundreds of other skies from around the world, and then see you back here at midnight Saturday (Israel time, that's 22:00 on the continent and 5:00pm EDT) for Summer Stock Sunday. The weather's really heating up and summer is in full swing, so keep those cameras out to capture all those special summer memories!

  1. Looks very stylish - ready to accessorize a wall. I like the blink of the big city - the Moon looks so commanding in this size and color!

  2. My actually quite small city would be tickled pink to hear you refer to it as the big city LOL.

  4. It's a lovely moon, Robin. Beautiful with all the twinkle of the "big city." FYI, my cousins up north jokingly refer to Tiberias as "eer Hagedolah" (the big city).

  13. Wowee, great moon!

    Thanks for the Shalom Chanoch song line in your comment. It is true. Whenever I hear a helicopter go right over the house, I go out and watch till it starts to land, worrying and saying a little prayer. As in http://jerusalemhillsdailyphoto.blogspot.com/2008/02/helpful-helicopters.html

    I hope things will be well for you and soon.

  16. lovely . . . I've yet to get a nice moon shot.

  17. Yeah, you're right. It never even occurred to me to think of tourist helicopters. Some 90% (I'd say) of the choppers here are the big brown ones.
    But we also had the convoy of three big army helicopters carrying President Bush fly over, and late also Pope Baruch. So it's not ALWAYS a medical case.

  19. What a marvelous moonshot, Robin! Isn't it great to be able to capture a shot like this? Thanks for sharing and I love your header! My kind of kitchen! My first time to your blog, but I'll be back for sure!
    Happy SWF!

    I like that you were able to capture the city lights below.
    Nice shot!

  22. Looks like a fishing bobber sinking to the bottom of the vast sea of night. Wonderful shot, Robin.

  23. Big or small - you made your city proud! I like the way you cut the image - wide - looks modern /like HD screen :)/

    ReplyDelete
  24. Oh wow, picture perfect is all I can say.
    Perfect colour and great with the city lights.
    Wow and woe again!

    I love how you also caught the twinkling lights of the buildings below..

    Happy SWF and have a great weekend. :-)

  26. Sweet! And not easily captured. Especially when you're trying to include detail on the ground where the light ... isn't. Marvelous!

  27. Robin that shot is so worth framing, as mentioned above. quite the capture of twinkling lights and detail of the moon with its dramatic color as well. Well done to you and the creator
