Here is the moon when it first appeared over the horizon:
This is it later while it's still rising:

Perigee Moon 2011
I got some good shots of the perigee moon. It is 30% brighter and 14% wider than lesser full moons. The moon was the closest to the earth since 1983 and it won't be this close again until 2028. Wow, so cool! I was glad to be able to witness such an event.
