A Moon in Summer

The moon tonight was utterly fantastic in that "only previously seen in a fantasy setting" way.  It was huge and close to the horizon.  A few days on the far side of full, it just looked all misshapen.  And the color: it was this fake-looking blood-and-water color that faded to a disturbing rusty penny shade as I drove. 

It should be illegal for the moon to be that fascinating when I have to drive.  I just wanted to pull over and stare at it.  I think everyone else on the road did, too, because for once, they were all under the speed limit.  It was dark, so I couldn't tell, but I think all the drivers were watching the moon with me heading east on 36.
