The last full moon of the year is the called the Cold Moon from Native and Colonial American times because of the time of year and symbolizes the beginning of winter.  It also occurs closest to the winter solstice (December 21) and is often called the Long Night Moon.  The next full moon coincides with my Birthday.  But as you can see from the sunset colors in this image it appears far from cold as it hangs over the San Gabriel mountains and downtown Los Angeles. Another thing this images does is highlight the common illusion that the rising moon close to the horizon looks larger than it does when it is higher in the sky, known as the "Moon Illusion." It is the subject of much research and there are many 'theories' as to the cause, since the moon does not change size from the moment it rises through when it reaches its maximum height until it sets.  The 'perceived' larger moon on the horizon is caused by its closeness to other visual clues under the influence of distance/depth cues such as the buildings and mountains; making it a visual angle illusion not a size illusion.  Well after all that, I can say through the eye of a photographer it makes for a great picture - and I hope you like it.
