Is reader Karen a pro photographer? That's a great great shot... could be sold through some stock photo service for sure

that is so neat that you actually took the time to sit and watch the moon! more people need to stop and live like that from time to time. a great way to start your sunny day....

An incredible moonset like this one happens once a year or so. Let me clarify - they probably happen more often - we just can't see them.

As I headed out of the house this morning for the bus, I noticed the moon would go behind the mountains in 20 minutes or so. I went back inside to watch it set. It was worth being late to work.

I have a Farmer's Almanac Calendar and they have names for all the moons. This here is the "Full Worm Moon". For all those gardeners out there, i guess this means the soil is comin' back to life!!

I have loved the recent clear skies!!!

Thank you for these photos! We were parked on Phinney to watch the moonrise last night. (It is set to rise at 7:19 tonight.) Here is some other moon info--the names of the moon for each month.

great shots--bella luna!

photographs can't really do the moon justice--it was quite a sight!
(similarly to the picture of the double rainbow a few weeks back)
keep 'em coming though--they're inspiring

Thanks, Roy - that was really funny! You too, BallardDINK!

Yes I noticed the moon last night after I got out of class. Then I reminded myself to watch out for lunatic drivers. ;-)

The moon setting over the Olympics this morning was INCREDIBLE. Anyone get a picture?? I was driving and only had my camera phone.

Gorgeous photo. Thanks for posting.

PS: nice shot, Geeky Swedes! That was one in a million.

It's too big to be a space station.

That's no moon. That's a Space Station!

Very nice. I was just starting a soccer game at Marymoor Park and it was HUGE and rising over the trees, looked very cool. Next time, I'll remember to pull out my phone and snap a photo!

The moon from my deck tonight was an incredible site. Too cold to be out there. Glad to have a place to be warm tonight.

que bien!

I was just admiring this on my way home tonight. Has anyone seen the moonsets the last few mornings? They have been beautiful.

the cold clear days have at least one benefit.
