January 1st, 2018. Our first full moon of the year on none other than New Year's Day. Owing its name to hungry wolves who would howl on the outskirts of Native American villages in the dark depths of midwinter, the Wolf Moon is also a Super Moon, making it the biggest and brightest of the year to come. And all on the very first day!
I sat on my windowsill, half hanging out through the open window to point my camera at the deep black sky. It's one of the brightest moons I've ever seen. A disc of pure, beaming light that bathes the streets in a soft blanket of silver. A few stars are dotted above the rooftops, a rare sight for the light drenched skies of London - but tonight the air is crisp and clear and the sky is dark.
I plan to capture as many 2018 full moons as I can, and this one was a pretty magic way to begin. Happy Full Wolf Moon, and a Happy 2018 from me!
