Full Moon Through the Clouds

What a photographer my MBC is getting to be. He is the one that captured the moon the other night. There were two or three layers of clouds that night and it gave the moon an ethereal glow.We don't yet have a tripod, so we had to practice being perfectly still. Which in the wind on this chilly evening was not easy to do. We both took a lot of shots, most of which came out pretty darn blurry.But hubby finally got a couple of really good ones.

Very great capture! I tried doing that in my point and shoot camera, but all I get is black sky with a dot somewhere.

If I didn't know better, this appears as a winter sky - almost cold and quiet :) Was this Saturday night? I noticed the sky like this then - even though I'm in the other part of the country :) Thanks for sharing!
