Full moon and Mars setting

Was a nice sight all night last night and this morning, with Mars near the full moon.

This morning on my way to work it was a beautiful sight - the full moon very low in the dirty atmosphere giving it a yellow/brown hue, combined with the optical illusion making it look big, and Mars still shining bright above and to the right.

Was hard to concentrate on driving, kept looking out my window to see the sight.

Made me wish I had a westerly view more often.
