Light. Clouds. Colors.


And trees.

The full Moon rises over our yard, lights up the clouds, and silhouettes the trees.


There is a lot going on here. The colors around the Moon, the corona and aureole, are the result of scattering and diffraction of light through the cloud droplets.


Add ice crystals and we get a hint of the 22° halo above the Moon.

I never get tired of looking at the sky.

As always, keep looking up.
