The rising of the winter "Wolf" Moon, the Full Moon of January, over the frozen Crawling Lake Reservoir, in southern Alberta, January 25, 2024. While it looks very cold, the temperature was actually a mild 0° C this night. The Moon only emerged from cloud low in the northeast moments before I took the photos, so shots of it lower and just rising, while the plan this night, were not possible. Indeed, I was about to pack up and drive home when the Moon finally emerged from the cloud bank. While this Moon has become popularized as the "Wolf" Moon, there were only coyotes howling nearby this night. And owls hooting. This is a blend of two exposures: One at for the ground and sky, and a shorter one at 1/5-second for the main disk of the Moon, both at with the Canon RF100-400mm lens at 141mm and Canon ISO 100.
