Moonrise over Peak Forest

This is the result of my first use of the Photographers Ephemeris on my iPhone. I needed to make an image of an evening moonrise over a village. The afternoon was spent driving around looking at angles. Then there was a bit of a wait as I had not allowed for the altitude of the hills opposite. Then suddenly there was the moon, right where it was predicted.
To me the joy in this image is not in the image itself, but in the learning experience it represents.
