Photographer Dan Martland had to improvise for these spellbinding photos of the Harvest Moon Supermoon rising behind the Statue of Liberty in New York.
Martland tells PetaPixel that the photos were planned “last minute” because the weather forecast wasn’t good for the day of the full Moon until he began monitoring webcams and could see skies opening up.

But he still had to pick a spot to shoot from, the Moon’s position in the sky changes all the time meaning Martland is constantly looking for a spot that will make for an interesting photo. “The Statue of Liberty is always a winner,” Martland explains.
