Amazing night skies over Delicate Arch from none other than Arches National Park in Utah! Experiencing the night sky in southern Utah was on my bucket list for a while. The dry air and high elevation makes the night sky jump out at you. In this image you can see the Milky Way arching over top of Delicate Arch with wispy clouds passing above. The clouds were illuminated by light pollution from the city of Moab. This is a 30 image panorama captured with a Nikon D750 and 24mm lens.

22°+ 46° ring halo + Circumscribed halo + Parhelic circle + Moon dogs (paraselenae)
That's a very rare halo display for the combination cirrostratus and Moon.
Kind regards,

Honky-tonk Moon (Painting) 27 December 2012: from the train near London Waterloo station I sketched the fat Moon rising near the 'Shard' building. The syncopated rhythm of light and dark storeys put me in mind of keyboards and Scott Joplin's rags. (It helped that the building's architect was Renzo Piano!)
The sketch was then freely developed into this painting.
