    Strawberry Moon and Etna Exhaust

      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.
