Arctic Moon Effect

[Artur Stanisz]

Yesterday's moon on Mt. Seymour in Vancouver. The temperature fell to -40C. Who knew that spring can be so cruel? Some technical stuff: The rigid moon effect visible on the photo is not a technical issue. I noticed that under very low temperatures the surrounding air behaves as if it was very hot, hence this impression of the "lack of sharpness" on the edges of the moon.#april1

This looks very frigid but beautiful.

The tints in the clouds and on the snow really make a nice contrast with the setting moon.

Glad you braved the cold so we could see this scene in front of a monitor in a warm room

Ha ha, I am sensing an April Fools Joke?

Ha ha, I am sensing an April Fools Joke?

A tiny one....obviously, it isn't Mt. Seymour in Vancouver The rest is true. The photo is from Yukon, Canada. So far on Facebook and Flickr, nobody corrected me And answering your question from the previous post. Yes, I am in Patagonia, now (with an individual workshop for a very special customer of mine). We are having a blast! Stay tuned

That's a lot more subtle than my poorly planned April fools joke... I was going to take a picture of my thumb and share it as a new favorite.

This is a lovely image though!

Hi Artur,

The subtle color coming out in the snow is beautiful, and the dark trees and snowless patch on the left balance against the moon perfectly. Never having explored the Yukon I wouldn't have guessed this, but Vancouver, -40 and spring don't seem to fit together.
