Hank: I would love to see a good print of that photo. Maybe the library has a book of Adams photos, which I want to look at anyway.
Brandon: It's Jupiter, according to Nancy Nall, who saw the moonrise in Detroit and posted about it on Facebook.
Joared: I guess you mean the cloud under the moon, but actually the tiny light in the left hand corner of the pic is a plane.
No tripod. I just propped it up on the deck railing.

Very lovely, Hattie. It makes me want to head out your way again sometime.

One of the great photographs of all time, in my opinion, is "Moonrise over Hernando, New Mexico" by Ansel Adams.

HERNANDEZ, NEW MEXICO is correct. I found it online. Naturally, everything is online.

So that tiny bright dot above the Moon was Jupiter? I thought it was a star.

Moon plus plane is amazing photo capture. Then started thinking about possible meanings of this juxtaposition: man and the moon.
