I headed out to a mystery location this morning to check out the moonset. It is dropping extremely south now. Here is a shot which demonstrates the moon's far southern angle:

I couldn't get the tripod out of the frame. I guess I need to be there earlier next time.:biggrin:

Really like the light and the rich colors.

Thanks Dan,

It was really green in the Garden this morning. Oops I gave away the location.:razz:

I was just taking a bunch of shots by 'the tree' to check out different compositions. These were basically test shots for another day with clouds, and a more northern moon etc.... But the colors really stood out in reviewing them. I guess all blue sky can sometimes work if there are enough other elements in the frame.

As I was watching the moon set to the extreme south I was trying to think of places where it might be more photogenic this time of the year - maybe Mills Lake in RMNP. Hmmm...
