Moon vs the clouds

This was taken December of 2022 at approximately 1:30 am. I was sitting down by the Little Sioux River in western Iowa. After a very hard year medically & financially-- AND ending a 15 year relationship, I went down to calm my nerves. As I was sitting there crying, I looked up and seen the beautiful moon. It wasn't until I got back home that I realized how many awesome pictures I got!! This is my favorite.
