"When you get caught between the moon and New York City...."

The title of this post is a Christopher Cross song called "Arthur's Theme".  When I was thinking about a title for this post that song came into my mind.  If you have no idea what I am referencing, then you must be too young.  Back to the moon...

Last night as I was getting ready to go to bed (about 1:00 AM), I looked out the window and there was the moon, low in the sky.  I took out my camera and started to play around with the settings to get a good shot....the result on the first shot is what happens when you press the shutter and then move the camera around not realizing it is still open.  The next two are the best shots I had.  There are still a few more nights until the moon is full, so I will continue to refine my skills.  There were some clouds in the sky that I could only see when they crossed in front of the moon.

As a contrast, when I woke up this morning, (about 5:30 AM) there was a beautiful sunrise reflecting off of the building across from my window....so I snapped a few shots.
