Photoshop for super moon night

Just play with Photoshop for fun on the pictures taken at super moon night, July 2014. A supermoon is the coincidence of a full moon or a new moon with the closest approach the Moon makes to the Earth on its elliptical orbit, resulting in the largest apparent size of the lunar disk as seen from Earth.

Carlsbad Cavern National Park

The adventure to Carlsbad Cavern National Park is a side trip to Monahans Sand Hill.  It is a 2 hours drive each way and fits well into the photo travel plan because there's nothing to photo in Monahans during the day time.  Carlsbad is the biggest cavern in the northern hemisphere although it is only the 28th largest cavern in the world. Carlsbad

Monahans Sandhills State Park

Monahans Sandhills Texas State Park is noted for the presence of sand dunes up to 70 feet high. Although desert-like, the Monahans Sandhills are not a desert; they are a part of a semi-arid ecosystem characterized by the presence of both groundwater and relatively nutrient-poor windblown sand.  Click the picture for large image or the link to the albums: Monahans 1   Monahans 2
