Last Moon Rising... - a photo on Flickriver

            Good morning everyone and Happy New Year! As the title states, two quick pics of the last moon rising in 2017. 

A Waxing Gibbous moon at 97.6% full. Both photos were taken early last evening. The one on the left just as it came over the visible horizon at 6:30PM while it was still somewhat light. The one on the right was taken about a half hour later at 7:06PM.

Not the clearest moonshots you'll ever see as it was a bit hazy from the extreme cold and the moon was very low in the sky at the time. Maybe 15 degrees above the horizon for the one on the right when taken. Much less for the one on the left. 

It was 7 degrees (-14C) when both pics were taken. Presently at 9:30AM it's minus -8 degrees (-22C). Forecasted high for today is 5 degrees (-15C) and it's expected to dip to minus -10F (-23C) tonight.

Now that I have your attention, please accept my humble and heart felt thank you for your kind comments this past year and for inspiring me to improve on things. Wishing you a year of good health and much happiness in 2018. And God bless everyone.

PS...as for the title, it's my take on a song performed by Creedence Clearwater Revival. Being Bad Moon Rising written by John Fogerty.  It was the lead single from their Green River album and was released in April 1969, four months before the album.
