Ludvig van is the man!  (6th and the 9th for me)...  Saw that moon too...  My lady friend bought a new lens for her camera and got some pics of it too.  (the moon that is, not the composer!)

Being awake most of the night I got to see a lot of this wolf moon. :(

Can't say it made me happy exactly, but the frost looked pretty in the moonlight.

- and my wife, fooled by the wolf, woke to the "bright dawn" - twice - at 3:00am and 5:00am. :D

I used to play all 100andsummat Haydn symphonies  back-to-back as background but recently branched out into his other stuff, , ,  and a select few of other composers :)

good on your friend, is it a long telephoto type ? in which case she could take another in a while when moon is at apogee, then slice and paste two halves and see the difference. Quite interesting.
Lots of examples on the web and I have one of my own,,,, if only i could find it on my HD !

A full moon brings high tides,
Eleanor will be blowing down the North sea tomorrow,
The rivers are full thorough all the rain we've had over the last few weeks.
There is already Minor flooding on the broads.
A supermoon Brings even higher tides.
I'ts spring tides tomorrow....

Time to get the wellies out...
