Day 201 - Moon above Lansdowne Monument by snaggy

Day 201 - Moon above Lansdowne Monument

Went back to my happy hunting hunting ground of the Marlborough Downs and I noticed the moon was coming up.

Came up with the bright idea (!?!) of aligning the Monument and the Moon - it took ages as the Moon moves quickly!

Worth viewing large if you have the time and inclination - you may just make out two walkers and their dog to the left of the monument which gives it a sense of scale.

And thanks for all the feedback and favs - Beauty is in the Eye PP'ed yesterday due to your continued support. It really is appreciated. My own commenting will be limited a little over the next couple of days due to work and family commitments, so please accept my apologies.
What a fantastic shot. It was well worth your wait. Very striking.

Gorgeous. Perfectly aligned. Would be fun to wait for the moon to rise up over the hill.

Fabulous shot especially so in large where, as you say, the walkers give this great scale.
