Moonrise at sunset        Images © Mark A. Chappell

These images show moonrise shortly before or after (upper right) sunset in eastern California's White Mountains, with some of the peaks are still illuminated by low, reddish sunlight.   In the picture at upper right, a nearly full moon hangs in the sky above Sheep Mountain in the last light of day.  A small segment of the crest of the Sierra Nevada can be seen in the lower right of the photo.
