Admin note: I downloaded the image and posted it directly into your post here Odin. The link is still there so people can read about it. That way the picture will remain available even if the newspaper archives the article. -O

That is pretty cool. Will admit now that when you said crane, I was thinking of the fowl persuasian though.

Wow! The window of opportunity was brief but stunning.

Excellent shot.
I was thinking bird when you mentioned Crane also.

That is such an amazing shot!

Yes, I did too. I had pictured a crane (bird) carrying the moon in its beak.

The crane reference is funny, I thought about it too
The photographer used a step ladder to get it just right, but of course luck and timing had a lot to do with it as well.

I'm sure there are many great photographers in the Gimp community. I'd love to see more examples of what people are doing with their photographs in Gimp. A great recent example was, "Autumn in the Houseboat" by PhotoComix.
