Image Details:

Haze atmospheric conditions make today’s full moon very special. When the moon appeared from behind the trees (about 40 minutes after moonrise) and was rather low above the horizon, it was so red! While the moon was going up, the redness was gradually changing to orange and then to more yellowish colors.
