Moonrise over the city streets

Moon is one of the most photographed celestial objects, 99% of the shots are moon in black background. It gets kinda boring after a while, what Ive done is trying to get something else for scale and to keep things intresting.

Using a software called The Photographers Ephemeris I calculated the direction of moonrise. Luckily there is plenty of long streets in my hometown that go from east to west. This software is very easy to use (Google Maps style interface) and also extremely useful for photographers looking for that perfect sun- or moonrise shot.
