Moon Over Lincoln, CA

I try to watch the sky as the sun sets, just in case there might be some spectacular color.  No color on this evening but I liked the way the elements aligned themselves in this composition.

    The Man in the Moon is looking down on Lincoln, Martha - and he looks pleased!

    Hi Martha,
    I was about to say something similar to what Barb did. It does look like the moon is watching over the earth there. Beautiful!

    Fabulous shot, Martha. The light you couldn't find in the sky is there, it is on the houses and the land, and it's a warm, warm light.

    I forgot to look for the full moon with our first snowfall finally arriving. . . maybe it will be out again tonight.

    This is a great shot - love the way you were able to balance the exposure for all 3 sections of the picture.

    Splendid!

    Beautiful shot--sometimes you don't have to have a lot of color--it can still be stunning. Mickie

    Good cloud formations even if they lack colour. Boom & Gary Of the Vermilon, River.

    It's still beautiful. I remember taking a picture of a moon in the evening inside a moving car. Lolz. It came out different since the moon resembled like a zipping UFO. Hehehe. I could just hear the X-Files jingle playing in the background.
