Explanation:
In this panorama of Earth and sky
recorded on Thursday, November 13, the
Full Moon
rises along the eastern horizon at the far left.
Of course, the
Full Moon rises at sunset and
that Thursday's setting Sun
was also captured at the far right.
In between, 17 digital images are stitched together to
follow the horizon to the south in a lovely twilight
portrait of the city of Lisbon, Portugal.
The serene view takes in part of the longest bridge in Europe, the
Vasco da
Gama bridge, beneath the rising Moon and ends at the mouth of the
Tagus River looking west toward the
sunset and the Atlantic Ocean.
The photographer's vantage point was Lisbon's 100 foot high
Cristo Rei monument
on the south bank of the Tagus, at the foot
of the port city's other famous bridge, the
Ponte 25 de Abril.
