Skywatch Friday 8/1/08

This was our late afternoon view from our rooms at the Chisos Lodge in Big Bend National Park in Texas. I must admit that I took a little artistic license in enlarging the moon about 50%. (It never is a big in photos as it looks to the naked eye.) I know the reasons for this, but wanted to have the photo give the impression that I remember...

Very good SWF! Gorgeous landscape.
Blogger seems to have enlarged the original, which is clearer and sharper. Worth the effort to click the image and see it! :)
Good work!
Cheers, Klaus
