The amazing lunar spectacle over the picturesque town of Winterberg in Germany

 

 

 

On December 12th, the cloud cover around Calgary prevented  me from seeing the full moon as clearly as I wanted to.  The power of the moon, at its closest to the Earth was quite intense whether one could see it or not.

I was lucky enough to find this article about the full moon and what some of the pictures were like from around the world.  Check out the article below and see some spectacular shots of the moon.
