Apologies for the bad quality of this photo, as always I was too lazy to pull out my tripod and mount the camera - the photo was taken holding it in my shaky hands 
With the highest possible ISO, therefore it's also very grainy 
But I still love the redness of the setting half-moon. Wonderful colour!

Pro Ah, that's too bad. It was really lovely yesterday.
I have the same problem with sun-/moonrises, can't see them because of too many buildings

You were moon watching too last night - snap!

Pro Like you ... 
SeasideMan
Pro Lovely colour!
antlady69
Pro Thanks, Tom!
Now if I can only get myself to use the tripod to get a clearer picture ...

I've seen a red moon before, very rarely though. The colour's fantastic on your pic.

Pro Thanks Matt! It seems to be relatively rare indeed, I was so happy to have caught it that I posted this bad photo 
Maybe, if it's this red again tonight and the sky clear, MAYBE I'll pull out the tripod this time ...

A red Paddy's Lantern would be terrific' Please watch out for it and have your tripod ready. lol
antlady69
Pro I did, and the photo is better than this one above. Will post soon

Interesting that you too refer to a large full moon as Paddy's Lantern. Wondering who stole Paddy's Lantern from who? lol

Notice the moon was pinkish last night around sunset but could not get a piccy as driving.
Not as spectacular as your pic though.

Pro Apparently, the eruption of Russia's Sarychev Peak created spectacular sunsets. Maybe that's also true for moonsets?

Sounds like a reasonable hypothesis.

Very nice.
Couldn't see the moon setting last night - too many buildings spoiling the horizon.
