Image Details:

Because I only have Colorado Springs azimuth readings to go by, I was surprised, as I always am, at where the moon came over the hills. I had to rush my camera and tripod to a different spot and adjust my settings when I suddenly saw it behind the trees to the left. The blue hills below the moon are the Rampart Range Mountains, so named, I believe because the Air Force Academy is located on them.
