Full moon rising- June 22, 2005.

Full moon is rising on June 22, one day after the summer solstice, so the Moon is rising far to the South. Furthermore, it stays low above the horizon (like the Sun in winter) and takes more time than usually to rise.
It is dark-red when it appears above the sea, at just one degree of elevation.
Firstly very fuzzy (because of the atmospheric turbulence very strong near the horizon), flatten (because of the atmospheric refraction), dark and red (because of the thicker atmosphere near the horizon), it brightens slowly, get more yellow, as it takes its round shape. That day, many hours were necessary for the Moon to became white.
Each picture from this composite had been taken 5 minutes after the previous one.
