Super moon

Description

from my balcony
Netherlands, Amsterdam SouthEast

It was said it would be an exceptional full moon, more brilliant, and larger than usual - Didn't figure out why that was, really, but couldn't stop myself to go out on the balcony and make a few pics... And I must admit, I never before saw it so very brilliant and sooo clear and detailed... fascinating!

Well, did some research, and here it is:

On March 19, 2011 the Moon passed by Earth at a distance of 356,577 kilometers (221,567 miles) – the closest pass in 18 years . This is known as lunar perigee and a normal lunar perigee averaging a distance of 364,397 kilometers (226,425 miles) happens… well… like clockwork once every orbital period.
To compare: see wikipedia
