I love watching the moon rise as the sun sets. Often the setting sun's color will be picked up by the rising moon. Living near the ocean means--in theory--that one can view the moon rising above the horizon, not merely shining overhead when the sky is fully dark. I say "in theory" because any haze, or clouds, on the horizon will obscure the moon, especially while there is still some brightness in the sky. Every once in a while (read, once in several months or even years), all the conditions are ideal and I can photograph that event. Such was the evening of the full moon rising in October, 2010 over Hatteras Island, taken from the upper end of Ocracoke.  That image is below. Along with it is a bonus, this morning's moonset, or nearly so, shortly before sunrise, as the moon went into a total eclipse.

Here, full disclosure is in order. This composite image is just that. I have artificially placed the moon right below the one above it in order to illustrate the shadow's passage across the moon's face, NOT the accurate position of the moon as it slowly sank in the sky. I created the composite from several separate images created between 6:05 and 6:23 a.m. To repeat, the position of the moon relative to the one above it is arbitrary; the illustration is meant only to show the progress of the eclipse itself.
