Nature’s salute

, August 11, 2014

A view of statues of a man and a boy, a monument dedicated to forest rangers, as the supermoon sets over the horizon at dawn at the Sierra de las Nieves (Mountain range of Snows) nature park and biosphere reserve between El Burgo and Ronda, near Malaga, southern Spain on  August 11. Occurring when a full moon or new moon coincides with the closest approach the moon makes to Earth, the supermoon results in a larger-than-usual appearance of the lunar disk. Reuters/Jon Nazca
