Thanks Enchiladita! That's a great cut from "The Howlin' Wolf London Sessions" with Eric Clapton, Charlie Watts and Steve Winwood. I love blues, and Howlin' Wolf, Lightnin' Hopkins, Elmore James and Johnny Winter are among my very favorites.

On the other hand, balmy weather here in L.A. but hazy clouds to the east. Sun is setting fast, and I will hike to my viewing spot in a few.

It sure was a whopper as it rose! Mars is up there too, good to know, wondered which planet that was.

Never saw the moon last night, overcast in SW Ohio :-(
Nice photos on this thread, though.
To: Zuben Elgenubi; La Enchiladita
It sure did look bright and large the other night as it was waxing in the sky.

appear 30 percent brighter and 14 percent larger than any other full moon this year
Total BS......I watched for that last evening, and then again pre-dawn this morning; NO "bigger and brighter" than 62 years of previous moon-watching these eyes have beheld.

Well, if you are viewing from Mars of course the Earth’s moon would look about the same :-)
To: Canedawg; wheninthecourse; antceecee
Bummer... the clouds completely obscured (from West L.A.) the rising, which was the most dramatic part.... but later, as it lifted above @15-20 degrees, I could see clearly the moon with Mars directly to the left... was more interested in Mars at that point.
How was viewing in OC, Ceecee?
