Not sure why the color is different, but this was my last shot of the night. The Moon disappeared behind a building right after this.

As I mentioned yesterday about the Moon this weekend being the Biggest Full Moon in Decades, I had to see if I could get some images of it. I wasn't able to shoot it when it was coming up in the east, so I settled for a 3:30am. viewing. I'm sure if you go out tonight right after sunset and look east you will see a spectacular sight! Anyway, once I got out there, all I could see were fast moving clouds and the Moon peeking out once in a while. The first two images are what I saw. Maybe an hour later the clouds had cleared and I got the last two.
