Lesley Posted December 23, 2007 Share Posted December 23, 2007 I'm just watching the most amazing Moonset from my window! I was up at 6.30 and the room was flooded with light - opened the blinds, wondering what it was...... and there is a full moon setting behind the trees. It will soon be gone but it was a magical moment.......has anyone else been up and seen it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Egluntyne Posted December 23, 2007 Share Posted December 23, 2007 It is pretty spectacular. Just catching the last few moments of it as it disappears behind the trees at the bottom of the garden. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lesley Posted December 23, 2007 Author Share Posted December 23, 2007 It is just descending into low mist here - with bare trees silhouetted against it....... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Karen & co. Posted December 23, 2007 Share Posted December 23, 2007 I saw it too I was about to open the curtains and couldn't work out what was shining in, it was amazing. I sent Mark down the garden to try to get a photo of it through the branches of the walnut tree and it was bright enough to let the girls out without a torch to check the nestboxes karen x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chelsea Posted December 23, 2007 Share Posted December 23, 2007 The moon was exceptionally bright here last night/early morning. I got up 4 times during the night which is unheard of (I sleep like a log usually) anyway - I thought I heard chickens crowing (yes im going mad) so from 2am onwards I got up four times. The bedroom was full of moonlight and it seemed almost daylight outside. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
One Man Banned Posted December 23, 2007 Share Posted December 23, 2007 It was very bright here, and completely clear - at 2am I was dropping Anita home and it was like daylight here Most peculiar Everything was frozen solid this morning tho as it was bitterly cold and now it's foggy Wish I'd been up to see the Moonset tho A xx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted December 23, 2007 Share Posted December 23, 2007 (edited) it lit up our garden all night, I kept thinking something had triggered the security light! I asked DH if he'd seen it as he let the chooks out and he said "I was just concentrating on not ruddy freezing to death!"

Popcorn Posted December 23, 2007 Share Posted December 23, 2007 I was just about to post the same about our security light poet. OH had gone out and I was alone (with young son) and I was disturbed thinking someone was running about the garden setting the light on and off. Our garden is totally enclosed, no-way in or out apart from through the back door, so I was a bit unsettled by it. Moon was so bright.

Egluntyne Posted December 23, 2007 Share Posted December 23, 2007 Go out and have a look at the moon now. Beautiful...with a halo around it. Bloomin' cold out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dogmother Posted December 24, 2007 Share Posted December 24, 2007 It was beautiful here last night too. The silver light was reflecting off the rooftops and my bedroom was flooded with the moonlight. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
