Full Moon, Jupiter, & Christmas Lights

Technically it’s almost a full moon, about 98%+ at the time.

The glow around the Moon is from a layer of clouds, which are just barely thin enough to allow the Moon and Jupiter (off to the right of the Moon, near the tree) to be seen.

In person, it was striking!

There’s Jupiter, off in the upper right. It should be visible also in the first two pictures if you click on them and blow them up to full sized, but here the clouds had shifted a bit and the King of the Planets is shining through!
