"Anyone who insists on hitting a rock on the moon will not succeed, but knowing how to manage the deep end. " Arab Proverb.
We got a lot of information on this special full moon, not for herself, but by the strong tides that would result in, aided by the sun around the globe. In our province this news have focused on the Cadiz coast, expert and other strong flows near the feast of San José, hence the "Tides of Pepa."
Focusing on the lunar role, decided to climb from the nearby hill Villamartín Glory ( 199 m) to peer into the horizon and wait this out of our satellite. This developed the short break began at 19 hours.
Click on the photos if you want to see them larger.
Cameras at the ready, with the sun setting in now, but soon enough we reached the summit to dominate the landscape. Villamartín seemed to catch the last sunlight and photography was inevitable.
had to hurry because the moon was hovering in the east just 5 minutes after putting our star. For a moment recall the popular ballad singing us an impossible love between stars so different and that this time it was fulfilled:
"Lorenzo call for the Sun and the Moon , Catherine.
When Lorenzo lies, rises Catalina. "
The lights Villamartin, are 19:45 and the Moon seems not wanting to wake up after the warm Lap offers the Massif de Grazalema.
Bornos also glows at her feet the great lake to overflow after the recent rains, flooding the ancient shore linking two mountain populations. The waters seem to refuse to blur, glare and reflections are shown everywhere. The peninsula, Now island of pheasants (center of picture) reminds us of a strange craft with its propeller tree, which seems to fly over the extraordinary place.
There is, finally appears, say 14% larger than normal. The refraction of the layers of the atmosphere and the existence of objects (hills in this case) in the foreground produce an optical illusion that magnifies our small satellite at the time of departure. Are the 19:50 has been delayed, but it has had to overcome the height of Sierra Margarita Penon the slope of the Toros. Using all the ISO of the camera, so he could impress the dim and dark skirt the Sierra , hills and plains of Villamartin, provoked this visible "noise" that makes the image even more striking.
Twenty minutes after his departure (20:10), and stood on haughty the Sierra del Pinar, glowing with strength and radiating brilliance on the big lake, which mirror that bounces the light, in this case the newly hidden Sun
are 8:45 am, the huge lantern overcomes the night shadows. Margarita Sierra trimmed aided by the moonlight. In the lower plane Villamartín
Gradually the huge globe, more and more silver was rising majestically over the peaks of Cadiz and Malaga, proudly displaying its craters and seas ". The Sun, beaten after trying to maintain its dominance in the twilight light was lost in the twilight, while, the moon tinged with sad faint silvery tones your new domain.
Astronomically this is what happened. Moon, Full casually, is at perigee (closest point in its orbit around the Earth ), increased in size over the horizon (14%) and full brightness (30%).
The Sci-Nasa scheme shows the comparative sizes of the star and Earth distances to which the moon stood in December and July of 2004, data similar to the current situation. If this couple, satellite-planet, Sun will add to the lineup that has led to the sea alive.
After long minutes have been watching Sierra and Luna, we could not resist the temptation to imagine the rising star on the crest that separates and unites, the Cerro San Christopher (left) with the Tower. The photos used for the composition are real, yes, nuanced contrasts and colors, distorted in the case of the Moon to highlight the seas. Comparatively speaking we have expanded a little lunar size to fit it better on the mountain watermark.
