See it larger.

Tamas K-L watched the moon come up over Beacon Hill and the Charles this evening.

In the first image I love how each tower has a light pool on the water, and the moon gets one too.

I was driving home along the highway just after 5pm, went around a big curve, and the supermoon swung into view very low in the sky dead ahead. It made me catch my breath. An old cliche, I know, but it's an odd and rare thing to experience literal breathless awe. Could not stop staring. That still, eerie bigness touches something deep and elemental.

(On a unrelated note, I miss my recently-retired pub trivia host. He always played "The Cutter" at some point in the evening every week, and I would always wail along. "Couldn't cut the --- muh-muh-mussstaarrrrd!" Not sure my teammates miss him so much for that.)
