Moonset at Sunrise

Alaska. A bright moon descends over Mount Susitna across Cook Inlet as the first rays of the morning sun rising from the east highlight the snow-covered top of the mountain and the lower part of the sky with a pink glow. The moon is just past full having been through a total exclipse the night before, and a faint white moonbow is visible around it.
