June Solstice Moon 🌓
June 21st, 2026, 19:191. Summer solstice: the Sun reached its northern limit, the day stretched as far as it could, and the Moon was already visible in the blue evening sky.
The day was clearly not finished. The sky was still blue, the trees were still in sunlight, and the Moon had already arrived.
Not bright enough to take over, not faint enough to ignore. Just early.
Another moon sighting. No agents on duty this time, but the sky was clearly being monitored: Zunehmender Halbmond 🌓🌛.
Taken handheld with my Z50 and the NIKKOR Z DX 50-250 mm 1:4,5-6,3 VR. The tripod stayed inside.
1/500s f/6,3 ISO 250/25° 50-250mm f/4,5-6,3 VR f=250mm/375mm
