Explanation:
A very full Moon
rose over Manhattan's Upper Eastside on June 28,
known to some as the
Strawberry Moon.
Near the horizon, the warm yellow lunar disk was a bit ruffled and
dimmed by a long sight-line through dense, hazy atmosphere.
Still it fit well with traffic and lights along East 96th street
in this urban astroimage.
The telephoto shot was (safely) taken from elevated ground
looking east-southeast from Central Park,
planet
Earth.
Of course, the East 96th street moon was the closest Full Moon to
this year's northern summer solstice.
