Moonrise at Vik, Iceland

Posted by
Ian Bramham (Manchester, United Kingdom) on 21 December 2012 in Landscape & Rural and Portfolio.

A waning crescent moon photographed at dawn from the clifftops near Vik on the south coast of Iceland in October 2012.

The bright star to the left of the moon is the planet Venus.

I'm going to have a break from Aminus3 over the Christmas holiday period but I'll be back posting new photos in early January 2013.

Thank you for your comments on my photos in 2012.

Merry Christmas and a happy New Year to all of you!

Gérard Beullac from Paris, France

Great !
Captured on October 30th ? I've done that day in the morning, some pictures of a full moon disappearing behind a hill.

21 Dec 2012 8:54am

@Gérard Beullac: Hi Gérard!....no, actually this was photographed on the 12th and it was a crescent moon, although the rest of the circle of the moon's shape is still visible so it looks rather like the full moon in your shot!

Gérard Beullac from Paris, France

And ... have a great Christmas time !
