Full Moon Setting

Clear sky with unusually good visibility to the southwest of Mutare early Monday 17th June provided magnificent views of the Full Moon setting behind mountains near Chikanga Township at dawn. It is unusual for the Moon to remain so clearly visible while descending behind a distant horizon as shown in the accompanying still photograph.
