A Washington Moonrise No.3

Another in a series of images I shot of the “Super Moon” rising over Washington, D.C. on the evening of March 19, 2011. It was called
a “Super Moon” because of the rare coincidence of a nearly full moon being at perigee – the closest to Earth in its elliptical path.

While not appearing as "super" as in the other two images, the moon has by now risen enough to cast a nice reflection in the waters of
the Potomac in this view that encompasses the dome of the U.S. Capitol, the Washington Monument, and the Lincoln Memorial.

This image is available in archival gallery prints and as a custom printed Photo Note Card.

And if you'd like to read a bit more of the "story," please visit my blog post http://thunderflakes.blogspot.com/2011/03/moon-song.html
