Final entry from John Farnan. "This is one of my favourites from my visit the other night (24th October). The moon had been rising for about 30-40 mins it was bitterly cold and getting dark rapidly as dusk was being replaced by night. Anyone who was out that night would have recalled if they spotted the moon in the sky, it was far bigger looking than normal. It changed colour from its initial blood red through the orange spectrum finally settling on its normal white / grey. If you have ever tried to take pictures with the moon included you will agree that it's a task in itself as it will overexpose far easier than be caught in a camera's eye. I got it here just as it was rising towards the moving turbine but before it became white and too bright. The backdrop is the Lanarkshire all the way over to the television transmitters at Kirk o' Shotts Who knows, the power being generated that night could be lighting up the televisions in the houses across the shire"

Great shot, John, and you're dead-right about including the Moon in a photo - very tricky exposure.
