Creepy Moon

At sunset this evening, the moon was glowing an ominous flame-orange, as if God had peeled a tangerine and laid its peel upon the moon.  I was out eating dinner with a dear friend, when I glanced out the bistro window to discover the tangerine orb hovering over a vapour laden horizon.  I came directly home whilst scanning the sky.

By the time I got home the orange orb had transformed into a crisp light peering from the black abyss.  I grabbed my camera and headed towards the back garden.  I crept under the enormous pine trees, as the owls hooted and the bats fluttered almost silently through the night air.

I set up the camera at the back of the property and proceeded to snap shots of the moon.  The vapour had almost dissipated from around the glowing sphere by the time I got my first shot setup.  The ambience was quite spooky, with all of the wolves howling and the air gently rustling through the trees.
