Sometimes, you have to wait an entire season for the perfect opportunity.

One came up last night.

Several factors had to coalesce: to capture the teaser image below, it had to be sufficiently, but not excessively cloudy, it had to snow generously, I had to be out of town and in the mountains, and the Moon had to be bright enough, i.e., full.

The only thing missing was my tripod, but I did alright.
