Yes, it was awesome. My wife and I were walking back from a pig-out session at
our local Lebanese restaurant, and the moon was casting strong shadows through
the elm trees onto the snow. (For once, our local weather co-operated during
an interesting astronomical phenomena.) While I was tempted to take the OM
out, it would have required driving into the countryside for really outstanding
shots, and we've just had a day of freezing rain followed by two days of +6
degrees Celsius weather, making for sloppy driving during the day and
dangerously slippery driving during the night. **HEAVY SIGH**
Ah well -- guess I'll just have to blow a few rolls of XP2 on the puppy... ;-)
