Flame towers moonset

Flame towers moonset - Azerbaijan

This shot only occurs twice a year, the position of the moon, the timing of the sun rise and the need for good weather make it a little tricky and all the elements have to align.

A band of cloud was rolling in but luckily the moon shone through the gap as the sun came up. I'd love some golden sunrise light on the foreground, but clouds on the opposite horizon scuppered this. Still, means an excuse to go back and shoot again in March next year!
