Perigee

This past weekend there was a Super Moon. 

Condensed from Wikipedia: A coincidence of a full moon or a new moon with the closest approach the Moon makes to the Earth on its elliptical orbit, resulting in the largest apparent size of the lunar disk as seen from Earth.

The most recent occurrence was on June 23, 2013, as the closest and largest full moon of the year and the Moon’s closest encounter with Earth for all of 2013. It will not be so close again until August 10, 2014.^[3]

Supermoons occur about once every 14 full moons in a full moon cycle.

The glow bounced off the roof & vines despite obstacles.

I ran out with my Nikon Coolpix camera and grabbed some shots from the back of my house, facing west, when I got home from work. The skies were clear all the way down the mountain and through the Alexander Valley vineyards as I rushed to where my camera was instead of with me. I ran out back and still received a moonshine facial as I looked up to the cloud filled skies.

The moon & clouds came together to highlight burnt umbers.

I sent these to Huffington Post to add to their slideshow of the event. I received an email that at least one was selected and can be seen here 'Supermoon' 2013 Photos And Tweets I'll be checking later, but so far am unable to see it amongst the 200 plus photos. If it is "liked" I receive points and it is moved closer to the beginning of the slideshow. Here's some I clicked on "like"...
