Alpenglow on Mount Rainier from Tipsoo Lake a couple of weeks ago. Loved watching the light work its way down the peak.

Last night’s full Buck Moon rising over the Washington Monument. Clouds turned the moon into a glowing sliver as it lined up to the top.

This morning’s 30% waning crescent rising behind the Washington Monument. This was the best view, since the moon was a bit more hidden behind the clouds near the top. Single frame.
