The Full Moon Before Easter

The Full Moon rises above Pannonhalma Archabbey (Territorial Abbey of Pannonhalma) in Hungary. The World Heritage site is one of the oldest historical monuments in Hungary. This was the full moon before the Easter 2011. The Easter Day is the first Sunday after the full moon following the vernal equinox (the beginning of spring in the northern hemisphere). The image is made with HDR technique where three different exposures were used for the very wide dynamic range of the bright rising moon and the faint landscape. © Tamas Ladanyi
