Spring Moon

Compton Hill Water Tower Moonrise 2015-04-04 2

The beautiful late-19th Century Compton Hill Water Tower and the reservoir beside it have been out of use for decades. You can climb the 196 steps to the top on the first Saturday of the month, April through October. It was open into the evening last night so people could see the rising of the spring full moon. The observation deck was packed, the shots could have been better, but this will do.

  2. Great shots of the red moon. Mostly I see it when driving and always think just go there with a tripod and shoot but until now thats never the case.
