Harvest Moon 2016

The Harvest Moon this year was on September 16th, when the moon is closest to the earth. I was on the way home from work and decided to stop at a location with a view to the east to frame the Boston skyline.

The moon began rising a bit north of the city and there were some hazy clouds moving through. Although I wasn't in a great position to get the shot I wanted with the Boston skyline, it was still fun to watch the show. There were a lot of people enjoying the view at the same time and when most started to pack up and walk away (myself included), a fireworks show began right under the rising moon!
