The moon peeks over the Springhouse at Trexler Memorial Park, Allentown, Pennsylvania, as dusk settles in in this painterly, HDR scene I captured on a beautiful mid-November evening.
The log cabin was part of Springhouse, the summer home of General Harry Clay Trexler (1854-1933), an American industrialist who built a business empire in Allentown. The park is his namesake.
“The sun loved the moon so much he died every night to let her breathe.”

As an October sunset paints the sky with its fiery beauty, a beautiful moon takes its turn to be the star of the autumn sky in the beautiful surreal.
I created this image by blending my shot the full Hunter’s Moon – when hunters used moonlight to hunt prey and prepare for winter – of October 20, 2021 as it shone its beauty at 8:22 p.m. over the West End of Allentown, Pennsylvania, with my capture of the gorgeous sunset of October 21, 2021 at one of the highest elevations of Trexler Nature Preserve, Schnecksville, Pennsylvania.
