Night Of The Perigee-Syzygy.

Amidst scudding clouds blowing in from the west, Orion's Belt points to the Moon, setting serenely over Leith's rooftops.

This was a so-called supermoon,  where the Sun, Earth and Moon are aligned to give us the full phase, coincident with the closest point in it's orbit - indeed, the closest to Earth since January 26, 1948 with the lunar disc 14% larger than normal.
