panoramic view of moonrise in January from Lonesome Lake in the White Mountains of New Hampshire

I hiked to Lonesome Lake for full-moon-rise in January 2007. Dissipating clouds conceal Franconia Ridge, but the twilight panoramic view is still magnificent! The next day I find out that another hiker died on Mount Monadnock that same night, hiking down the Pumpelly Trail by moonlight -- a tragedy for his hiking companions, family and friends.
