Wolf Moon

The Wolf Moon is the first new moon of the year. So called by the American Indians who knew it was different, and it is. The Wolf Moon is 14% larger and 33% brighter than other full moons. It occurs as the first moon of January and represents the perigee of the Moon’s elliptical orbit around the Earth. Right now the moon is 50,000 km closer than usual so watch out for high tides and severe cases of PMS. Taken by moonlight with a Canon G11. No flash, no tripod but I did stay at a Holiday Inn Express last night. [Not really; this is my backyard in TN after the recent snow]
