Description
Early morning moon set at Horsetooth Rock west of Ft. Collins, Colorado. Each month has a full moon and sometimes two. The October full moon is called the 'Hunter's Moon' which is preceded by the 'Harvest Moon' in September. A "Super Moon" occurs when the Earth's Moon is at it's closest approach to us in its orbit. This is called perigee and when it happens, the Moon looks larger than normal in the sky.
Horsetooth Rock, elevation 7,256 feet, caps Horsetooth Mountain west of Ft. Collins, Colorado. It is the area's tallest and most recognizable feature and can be easily seen from the city and surrounding area.
According to Native American legend, Horsetooth Rock is the remains of the heart of an evil giant, slain and cut in two by Chief Maununmoku. European settlers believed the rock bore a greater resemblance to a horse tooth, hence the modern name. Numerous routes lead to the summit; the most direct route begins at the Horsetooth Mountain Open Space Trailhead and follows the Horsetooth Rock Trail.
Some digital effects were added to the image after the original photograph was made. No electrons were harmed during this transition...
