Full Moon Setting at Dawn.
On Wednesday 24th April, clear skies enabled the Full Moon to be observed from shining bright at first light until it changed color while passing through a beautiful pink Belt of Venus with Earth Shadow beneath. A few minutes later it set into thin smoke haze behind some alpenglow tinted hills behind Chikanga Township.
