Sunrise and Moonset

I had to travel up to Blaine for an immigration interview early one morning.  The sun was just coming up as I headed north and the nearly full moon was setting on the other horizon.  The moon was sitting just above the mountains of the Olympics and looked stunning.  Sadly, I was on the interstate so no option to get a photo.  I did eventually manage to find a spot to pull off near Mt Vernon and was able to get some photos.  The angle of elevation made it look a little higher in the sky and this far north there were some clouds on the horizon obscuring the mountains so it wasn’t quite what I was hoping for.  However, it still looked rather nice.
