Alien Moon over Tokyo

I was just sitting here thinking of what to write for this blog post (I am trying to write something once a week), when I looked out of my window and saw a manacing glowing, fuzzy full moon rising above the city. It slowly appeared just above the skyscrapers off in the distance hidden by wisps of clouds. Just a few seconds later it was in its full glory off in its own space lording over it's metro subject.

I had to quickly get my camera out (my iPhone just wouldn't have cut it) and attempt to capture it before it disappeared, which it speedily did. But I captured perhaps a couple good shots. The last few moments of the Alien Moon was the most spectacular. It all but moved up into the clouds with just the orange rays shooting down onto the city, just like a spaceship trying to escape the gravitational greediness of Earth by blasting out as much power as possible. The Alien Moon is now gone. What perfect timing. I will add a photo to this post when I put it through the post-processing ringer. Hopefully there will be a usable shot.
