Strawberry Supermoon rising above the Needles
The full Strawberry supermoon rose in June this year over 2 nights. The first, the moon rose well before sunset and proved to be very faint, hiding in amongst the clouds and smog and was only clearly visible once it had reached clear skies above.
The second night however, ended up being quite spectacular. The moon rose from the horizon and was a gorgeous pink colour, which is soon lost as it rose up through the atmosphere and cloud layer.
Well worth waiting around for, along with a group of around 20 other photographers who were out at the same location that evening.
Native American Algonquin tribes named this moon the Strawberry Moon. This is because they would harvest strawberries during this time.
It's also sometimes called the Honey Moon, Rose Moon and Mead Moon.
