I was driving to work and noticed the moon was setting behind the windmills just outside town. By the time I got to a spot where I could actually shoot it, it was almost down. This is what I managed to capture...

Great image! The size of the moon is created by an optical illusion right?

Yes the moonrise and moonset is always large because of optical illusion . You did a good job catching a moonset . Not many of those at all floating around . Mostly moonrises are acknowledged .
