parting shot
“W
atching even the most remarkable movies for a second time can be sometimes boring but there is something in
celestial scenes and their contrast to terrestrial foregrounds that always looks new to me! And perhaps to all other
night sky enthusiasts. Rising or setting of the full moon, an immensely watched natural scene, still inspires millions
around the world every month.”

The Full Moon rises above a lighthouse in the Mediterranean seashore in Algiers, Algeria. The multi-exposure telephoto image has captured the
moon every few minutes. For information on Tafreshi and a gallery of additional images, click here.
