FULL MOON OVER SEVERN ESTUARY
There are only a couple of days each year when the Full Moon rises between the pillars of the Seven Bridge. This was my second visit of 2022 to capture it. As the Moon cleared the bridge, a narrow band of cloud covered part of its disk and I thought the shot was spoiled. However, by running left along the sea defence embankment I was able to get a second go about a minute later after the Moon had cleared the cloud. I was not sure that from my new position the Moon would still fit in the gap between the pillars. Fortunately it did - just!
