The bird is cool too...

If only there was an airplane exhaust trail to cross the T as well

Great shot, definitely worth the effort of getting in the right position. TFS!

Grat Shot. I dont see the forground as a distraction at all. It mimics the buildings shape.And the bird the water, the sun the moon. All this in ONE SHOT! Its very cool!

This is Seattle, and for only the 3rd time since mid-November we had a clear day. I decided to head off to a vantage point of the city to see if I could get a nice reflection of the sunset on the buildings across the water. What I was not expecting was the moonrise over the city at the exact same time.

It took a little bit of walking to get the moon directly above the highest skyscraper, but was totally worth the shot:



One of the comments I got on Flickr was that I dotted the I with the moon.

Three years later - to the day!- I took this one while traveling from San Antonio, Texas to Del Rio, Texas. Thanks for looking.



Merry Christmas and GOD Bless,
