Inca Luna

Snapped this on the phone last night. Moon rising over our hotel in Cuzco Peru.

Thanks for looking.

Moon rising over Macchu Piccu or Saturn rising in Antarctica would have been showing off

That moon in the clouds looks like the Iris Nebula!

It reminded me of the neb near the base of the Horse Head.

Have a great holiday, Peter!

Cheers guys. Back in Buenos Aires tonight. Nothing but light pollution here. Off to San Juan (Argentina) tomorrow. Hopefully a bit darker skies out there.

Yes. All good things must come to an end. We leave Buenos Aires tonight to return home. It's been an amazing month, with a huge variety in climate and landscape. Thousands of photos to sort through when we get home. Back to work on Monday for 3 weeks before I finish.
