They pulled out all the
stops on the last full moon of the millenium! Not only did
it happen on the winter solstice, when the earth is at its closest to the
sun, but it also happened when the moon was at its perigee, meaning that
it was as close as it gets to the earth. This combination of
circumstances last happened in 1867, and it resulted in a moon which was
considerably brighter than usual. In fact, although I took
a whole series of photographs, this is the only one which wasn't seriously
over-exposed.
