Phoenix, AZ - Super Full Moonset and Sunrise

The plan was to photography the Super Full Moon as it set over Phoenix.  This meant that I was out of the house by 4AM.   I wanted it from the point where McDowell Road raises and goes through the Papago Mountains.  It was a pretty view, but the real thrill was capturing the sun rising behind Four Peaks.

I played with the settings until I could get a decent compromise with the moon's brightness and the darkness of the city.



Happy with my photos, I turned to return to the car and what a sight with the morning sunrise.  I ran back to the car to change lens and set up to watch all the colors unfold.

Center statues are "Peter's Denial".  The three women on the left represent the three times of the denial. "The Rooster", to the left of the women, looks towards dawn.
