Was mowing the lawn late this afternoon,noticed the regular dash heading towards the moon,the sky has been murky all day,so did not expect much in clarity,but as the dash moved closer to moon,I could see he was going to go close,but not a pass.So decided it might be worth hopping of mower and getting a few quick grab shots with 400L.

Not long after a huge cargo 747 in bound to Brisbane came over low,rare to see here.Apparently it was coming from Japan-hope there are some 5DII's and III's on it for Brisbane IIS members!

When I look at the first one mate, it just blows me away to see man-made flight technology up against the natural beauty of the distant moon not even in the same atmosphere.

Good shot mate.
