[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
It was about a year and ahalf ago. I was driving from Haifa to Tel-Aviv after the weekend. My wife and sleeping child beside her at the backseat.
I noticed the beautiful full moon on my left, while driving.
My wife said something about paying more attention to the road, and less on the moon.
Finally I stopped the car beside the highway, and took my tripod from the back of the car (I always have it there). Since I used the olympus C-40z then (it was before i had the D70) it was a hard exposure to do and i used a nice technique. I used a piece of cardboard to hide the upper side of the frame for about 3 seconds of the exposure, to get a more detailed moon.
It worked nicly.

very nice moment and excellent capture Gilad

Sometimes what we think is unique, or a good shot does not get the attention of others. Also I find that getting comments on trek earth is harder than on treknature and treklens. In any event I find this picture to be quite interesting. You have captured a number of elements and the moon is indeed a great addition. Possibly shooting from the other side of the road would have eliminated the distraction of the railing, but that was maybe not practical. But overall in interesting shot.
