Explanation:
Seen from the
Canary
Island
of
Fuerteventura, this bright
Full Moon rose at sunset.
Reaching its full phase
on the night
of January 4/5, it was
the first Full Moon of the new year and the first to follow
December's solstice.
Of course, in North America the first Full Moon of January
has been known as
the Wolf's Moon.
But this Full Moon, posed in the twilight above an island of strong
winds and traditional windmills,
suggests another name.
The
telephoto image, taken at a distance from the foreground
windmill, creates the
dramatic comparison in
apparent size for windmill and Full Moon.
