Bob those are some great images, number is my first choice but all are very nice. I see you seem have a "favorite" spot around your home just like I do
Ocean2059 that first shot is a superb landscape shot, you've got interesting things everywhere thanks to the moon, it really is superb!

Rasmus, thank you very much for your kind comments. The image was taken at a park that I take my morning walk frequently. I was lucky to be there a bit earlier and had good light of the moon and the sky for about 5 minutes. Here is another image taken with Panasonic S1R with APO Summicron-SL 35mm lens,
On my way home from an errand and I see the clouds breaking on the horizon. I start thinking that the timing might be right for the cloud deck to light up just after sunset. As I get closer to home, I can see the color start to develop in the sky. I know I won't make it home in time so I pull into an area close to home on a different part of the lake. I snapped about a half dozen shots after which the light show was already fading. This was the best of the shots. No time to find a foreground element, no time to better balance ISO with shutter speed but it all worked out.
Taken whilst on board the Ferry from the Hook of Holland to Harwich, just before we left Holland.
The ship is the vessel SUN RISE, it is a Heavy Load Carrier.
@ocean2059 it looks like a great place to take a morning or evening walk (or just a walk). I really like both those images, I love how you've managed to include the moon in both of them in a way where it's visible, and makes a difference to the composition even though it's of course small considering the focal length. Great colors and composition over all
