I headed up the hills to the Somerset Wildlife Trust nature reserves.  I had been working all day and just had to get out of the house.  I arrived a bit late.

My plan was to capture the sunset looking down Velvet Bottom.  However, it do not really work.

I went for a stroll into the woods looking for something different to the views down the valley.

It was only when I returned from the wood that I noticed the full moon.  The sky opposite the sunset was perfect.  A colourful mixture of blue and pink.

And finally…

I do not have on of those really long lenses that can help put an enormous moon behind Glastonbury Tor.  Instead, I searched out something more personal.  I hoped the finger post opposite the Hunter’s Inn would offer that. I do love a nice finger post!
