Oh Holy Night by gilbertwood

Oh Holy Night

Driving home from last night's sunset (and thanks for all the great comments - TP & PP! ) I spied the moon and I began to think!! (Yes it is possible sometimes!) The church cross is visible from my front door and the moon looked it was heading that way - so I waited and waited. I was then so surprised how close the moon came to the cross just before midnight. I didn't realize how much the earth actually rotates! This is as I saw it - no photoshop, just a little crop and border :)
What a capture! Favourite!

@terryliv Ha ha! You missed one :)
December 17th, 2015  
@gilbertwood I did too. Must have been the lack of stars.

Did you see the one I tagged you in a few nights ago? Cant remember who's shot it was now. It was a good one though.

@terryliv I'm struggling to keep up at the moment, so can't remember :(
Bet it was a good one though :)

That is one of your best captures Denise, and such patience. FAV

Just need to check though, is that the moon crossing by, or the cross mooning by. Just what does go through my mind.
