A happily-betrothed, non-violent, counter-dominant, left-liberal, independent, vulgar, possibly charismatic, not entirely insufferable, quasi anarcho-libertarian Quaker daddy who is rather full of himself shares his self-righteous take on parenthood, photography, politics and other esoterica.

Yellow Moon On The Rise

Coming home from campus this evening, I saw the moon was huuuuuuge and yellow just over the horizon.  Wicked cool...


This is a while later in the front yard when the moon wasn't so big or yellow, but it's when I could take a moment to shoot. 

A local reader requested some information on the effect, called the "moon illusion", so here's a Wikipedia entry that discusses it and links to a number of fine articles on the subject.

I once tried to get out of an indecent exposure charge by playing the moon illusion card...
