Wow, those are great. I have been trying to shoot the moon but my camera is not good enough for photos like yours! Great job!

I really like the first here!!!
That full moon seems to have been a SPECIAL full moon (which totally hid behind a dense cloud cover here), everyone seems to have tried their hands on this moon ... "harvest moon" (don't know what that really means), close-ups and other takes... and here I like the pink sky and the moon against it with the naked bush giving the frame some balance on the other side.

Is it a speciality of EVERY year's October full moon then?
For I remember I saw the moon this big (and in similar colours) last year on 16 October in Hamburg (and took its pic).
