Big Moon Rising

Tonight is the biggest moon of the 2008 calendar year.

For a monsoonal climate, and we have had a few near monsoonal showers today, it is overcast and quite cloudy, but still the moon will rise in the east.

And it has come to pass that the clouds have eased, and the moon appeared among the palm leaves ........

Then emerged from behind the leaves........colours are unusual but real. NOT the typical large yellow globe you expect in the tropics, so vivid in the drier months.
