Long Cold Moon - a photo on Flickriver

Long Cold Moon

            The Full Cold Moon descends toward the Continental Divide with the Longs Peak group catching the rising sun, taken east of Lyons, Colorado. On the left is Mount Meeker (13,916 ft; 4,242 m), center is Longs Peak (14,259 ft; 4,346 m), and on the right is Mount Lady Washington (13,281 ft; 4,048 m), all in Rocky Mountain National Park.

The last of my family members have departed and returned to the Pacific Northwest, and we dwelling along the Front Range anticipate a few cold, icy mornings in the immediate days to come. The house feels rather empty. I had hoped to take the family hiking up to Dream Lake in Rocky Mountain National Park but the Shut Down prevailed and all roads into the Park were closed (although the Park remained technically open).

Technical notes: Two-shot panorama stitch that included the moon right where it is, and a third photo to properly expose the moon. Properly exposed moon was then blended into the panorama over the blown-out moon with layers and masks in Photoshop.

Happy New Year everyone! Looking forward to seeing the wonderful artistic work from everyone here in 2019. I continue to be impressed with the positive, friendly, constructive nature of the people in this digital community.
