Robert's Ramblings

Another failed image, I turn around and something unexpected happens!

This evening I tried to capture the moonrise on the eastern horizon but it was a dismal failure. The moon came up in the right place and right on cue but it was so dim as to be almost indistinguishable from the sky. In fact it had fully cleared the low hills on the horizon before I could even make it out. Added to that the heat haze coming off the land turned it into a wobbly mess. Then I turned around.

Looking back into the west I followed the convergence of the track to the horizon, swung the camera around to capture an oncoming vehicle and made today's image.
