 Strawberry Moon and Etna Exhaust

   September 19, 2022

    Ormefoto - etna superluna

   Photographer:  Orazio Mezzio
   Summary Author:  Orazio Mezzio

   The photo above shows the rising  Strawberry Supermoon peeking above
   the south-east crater of  Mt. Etna as observed on June 14, 2022,
   from near Maletto (Sicily), Italy. The  plume from Etna’s late
   May  2022 eruption still lingers but is beginning to fade. It’s the
   glow from the  full moon that’s highlighting the sinuous volcanic
   exhaust. Enhancing this evocative view is a  thermal inversion that
   acts to keep the plume from dispersing toward the surface or higher
   into the sky.

    Maletto is known locally as the town of strawberries. Because of
   the rich volcanic soil found here, it seems that the strawberries have
   acquired a unique, sweet flavor.

   Photo details: Nikon D750 camera; Nikkor 50 mm lens; Landscape mode;
   f/2; 3.6 second exposure; ISO 100 –- Moon shot at f/3.2, 1/50 second
   exposure, ISO 100.
