Moon and Tree - a photo on Flickriver

Moon and Tree

            The Winter Solstice on December 21st is also a full moon with the moon at its orbital perigee (closest to the earth) so it is a triple astronomical event which has not occurred since 1866. The moon will be at its theoretical brightest possible. (Of course the chances of a clear sky here in Oregon on that very night are astronomically small so I took the shot now.)
Addendum:
There will be a total eclipse of the moon in Western Oregon starting at 9:30 PM December 20 with the total eclipse starting at 11:40 PM. The middle of the eclipse will be at 12:16 AM. It is then a quadruple astronomical event of alignment of the sun, earth and moon.
