Description

I simply had to take this cell shot of the moon setting over Denver this morning -- I was up at 5:30 and was amazed at the interplay of moonlight and the wave clouds coming over the mountains and the city.  Higher up were ice crystals that were causing a lunar halo at the same time.  The dark backlit wave cloud looks like a super-tall mountain range, but the real mountains are much lower near the bottom of the image.  The moon itself was behind some of the clouds and looked like a golden orb.  Who says sunsets are the only amazing scenes of something setting!
