On Monday 31st December, I took part in the 2007 Christmas Bird Count in the Sheep River/Turner Valley area, south of Calgary. The weather was an absolutely perfect winter's day! When we got out of the car at one of our stops, I glanced up at the moon and thought I'd take a quick shot of it. I was just curious to see how large or small it would look with my fairly new little camera (Panasonic DMC-FZ18). This is a greatly cropped image, but I find it fascinating that even with a little point-and-shoot camera, you can still see some of those interesting craters.
