Location: Observatory Hill, Victoria, BC, Canada
This coppery coloured Moon looks like it is in full eclipse, however the colour is caused by a heavy inversion layer currently over Victoria. Some forest fires on the BC Mainland are no doubt contributing to the particulate to be found in the air here on the Island.
This photo is taken looking south over the City of Victoria and Juan de Fuca Strait.
