Things have been fairly quiet lately, but the autumn colours are providing a beautiful backdrop to the end of the year. This was taken at Falmer village today.

This week has also had a ‘supermoon’, this one being more super than most (they are not that uncommon) in that the moon was the closest it’s been at full since 1948 and we won’t have one as close again until 2034 (or something like that anyway). The best shots are taken as it comes up over the horizon, but we don’t get that kind of view from here. This was taken mid to late evening long after moonrise.

  1. At least someone is enjoying a nice autumn colours 😀
    All I can see are so many shades of gray and endless rain.
    Great Moon shot!!!

    1. Darko, thanks! Weather is holding up so far, though it’s getting much cooler now.

  2. A nice group, Paul … that first shot benefits from the lines of the dark branches.
    And the moon shot is fabulous!

    1. Thanks dW! It’s good to shoot the moon occasionally 😉
