Moon rising over Villars.....

.....finally, after 40 minutes in a car park and next to a bus stand. I was frozen. Then the bus came, doors opened and heads popped out, "What are you doing? ... What big moon? ... There's an app you know" ... Thankfully the bus had to leave, but people who had got off the bus joined me, phones at the ready and another string of questions, then lots of ooohs and ahhhs as she rose so quickly. You can always get a second chance to photograph the moon here just by driving down the hill. The extra, taken in a much quieter area, shows the outline of the summit of Diablerets and its cross. Tomorrow morning I might be chasing the moonset by going up the hill.

Tomorrow is the full and Supermoon. A supermoon occurs when the full moon is at the closest point of its orbit to the Earth, which is also called the perigee. That makes the moon look extra-close and extra bright — up to 14 percent bigger and 30 percent brighter than a full moon at its furthest point from Earth, called the apogee.

Have a great moon chasing weekend everyone.
