If you haven't seen tonight's moon, let me encourage you to go and have a look right now! (Or when it rises in your part of the world). It's a Super Moon, when the moon's orbit is closest to the Earth so it appears larger and brighter. Tonight, Saturday July 12th, is the first of three Supermoons in 2014.
I am still buzzing from this evening's walk where I witnessed a beautiful red smoky sunset on one side of the horizon then eight minutes later an amazing moonrise on the other, the smoky haze adding extra colour to the sky. All these photos where taken within 35 minutes on my walk (no tripod). I hope you have opportunity to enjoy it too!

Awesome captures of an incredible moon, Karen!! These truly took my breath away!! Thank you for sharing the beauty! Hope you're enjoying a lovely weekend!
I thought the moon looked big last evening -- didn't realize it's a super moon this month -- be interesting to see what it looks like on this side of the world tonight!
What a beautiful series of images this is, Karen.
I am going to be looking for that moon!
Karen - what skies you witnessed during your walk! The sky and moon are indeed "super."
That smoky sunset is so beautiful.
It is 23.00 hours here and I went outside and yessss, here we have the Super Moon too, on the other side of the world.
herlige måne bilder !
We looked out for the super moon but couldn't see it because of the tall trees around us. Maybe it was there later. Your photos are amazing!! and inspire me to make sure I dont miss the next 2.
Yes! we saw this moon on our drive home tonight. It is absolutely stunning!!!

Isn't it amazing! I went for a drive with my daughter to see it
Sounds like a perfect ending. I had that happen last year. I was smiling no matter which direction I faced.

Beautiful images Karen! I love the huge moon rising above the tree line.
No wonder you were buzzing Karen, it's captures like these that make me, and others keep coming back to look at. There's no differentiation between any of these shots - they are all so noteworthy. Such amazing colours. Well done. Renee
Karen, your images of the super moon are absolutely breath aching! I didn't realize that it is now ... I hope that the clouds would clear up before the evening, so I could see it as well!
